Design an experiment to demonstrate hydrotropism.

Demonstrate hydrotropism in plants.

Procedure are –

i. Plant a seedling in a vessel containing soil.

ii. Adjacent to the seedling put a porous pot containing water.

iii. Leave the set up for a few days.

Observation are –

On examining the roots it is observed that the roots bend towards the source of water and do not grow straight.

result are –

●It confirms that the plant shows hydrotropism as the roots bend towards the porous pot of water. 

●As hydrotropism is a plant growth response in which the direction of growth is determined by a stimulus of gradient in water concentration.
