    Roots exhibit hydrotropism, curving their growth towards moisture gradients to avoid drought. Hydrotropism is the plant response of roots orienting their growth according to a concentration gradient of water, ensuring water absorption. It allows roots to sense differences in water concentration and direct growth to areas with more available moisture through tropic responses.

    Hydrotropism

    What is Hydrotropism?
    • Hydrotropism (hydro- “water”; tropism “involuntary orientation by an organism, that
    involves turning or curving as a positive or negative response to a stimulus”) is a plant’s
    growth response in which the direction of growth is determined by a stimulus or gradient in
    water concentration.
    • Hydrotropism is a genuine response of roots to a moisture gradient to avoid drought.
    What is gradient ?
    • The difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas is called the
    concentration gradient . The bigger the difference, the steeper the concentration gradient
    and the faster the molecules of a substance will diffuse.
    Explain the Hydrotropism in simplest !
    • Hydrotropism is a form of tropism characterized by the growth or movement response of
    a cell or an organism to moisture or water.
