Tropism is the turning or orienting of an organism in response to an external stimulus such as light, gravity, chemicals, water, or physical contact. There are several forms of tropism including phototropism which is the response to light, geotropism which is the response to gravity, and chemotropism which is the response to particular substances.

The turning of all or part of an organism in a particular
direction in response to an external stimulus.
Forms of tropism include:
phototropism (response to light), geotropism (response to gravity), chemotropism (response to particular substances), hydrotropism (response to water), thigmotropism (response to mechanical stimulation).
