Thigmotropism is the movement or growth of a plant in response to touch or contact with a solid object. The pea tendril's coiling around the string or wire for support is a classic example of thigmotropism. Gravitropism (A) is the growth or movement of a plant in response to gravity, while geotropism (B) specifically refers to a plant's growth or movement in response to the direction of gravity (such as roots growing downward and shoots growing upward). Phototropism (D) is the growth or movement of a plant in response to light.
