Answer: The growth of a plant toward light is called phototropism. Stems and leaves grow toward the light to obtain more light for photosynthesis. Gravitropism is plant growth in response to gravity. This can be seen in how roots grow downward and stems develop upward. Thigmotropism is a plant's response to touch.
