Auxin, a plant hormone, plays a crucial role in these growth responses by accumulating on the shaded side of a plant, causing it to bend towards light. Understanding auxin's effects allows us to use it in rooting powders and to increase fruit yields, highlighting the importance of tropisms in plant survival.
