What is hydrotropism? Design an experiment to demonstrate this phenomenon.
Hydrotropism is the process of movement of part of the plant (roots) towards the water.
Experiment -
(1) In beaker add soil and sow the seeds.
(2) Adjacent to the seedling put a porous pot containing water.
(3) Leave the set up for a few days.
(4) It is observed that the roots of seedlings bend towards the source of water and do not grow straight.
The result - It confirms from the experiment that parts of plant show hydrotropism as the root of plants bend towards the porous pot of water.
