(a) The movement of plant part in response to gravity is called geotropism.
Example: Roots grow towards gravity.
(b) If the plant part moves towards the direction of gravity, it is called positive geotropism.
Example: Roots.
If the plant part moves against the direction of the gravity it is negative geotropism.
Example: Stem
(c) Tendrils.
