- Definition: Positive Geotropism
- Definition: Negative Geotropism
CISCE: Class 10
Definition: Geotropism / Gravitropism
Geotropism (also called gravitropism) is the directional growth of a plant in response to Earth's gravity.
CISCE: Class 10
Definition: Positive Geotropism
Positive geotropism is when a plant part, such as a root, grows in the direction of gravity (downward).
CISCE: Class 10
Definition: Negative Geotropism
Negative geotropism is when a plant part, such as a shoot, grows against the direction of gravity (upward).
