Step 1
What name is given to the type of response shown by the plant shoot?
Answer
The type of response shown by the plant shoot is called 'Tropism.' This response refers to the growth or movement of a plant towards or away from a stimulus, in this case, light. In plants, positive tropism occurs when growth is directed towards the stimulus, such as light, which is known as phototropism.
