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 the beaker, add soil and sow the seeds.
  2. Adjacent to the seedling put a porous pot containing water.
  3. Leave the setup for a few days.
  4. It is observed that the roots of seedlings bend towards the source of water and do not grow straight.
Result -
It confirms from the experiment that parts of the plant show hydrotropism as the root of plants bend towards the porous pot of water.
