Thigmotropism is a phenomenon observed in plants where they respond to mechanical stimuli, such as touch or contact with solid objects, by growing or changing their direction of growth in response to the stimulus. This allows the plant to anchor itself or shape its form based on its surroundings. Thigmotropism is typically seen in climbing plants or those that need support, such as vines or tendrils, which wrap around objects they come into contact with.
