Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why the movement of leaves of a sensitive plant is not an example of tropism.
Introduction: Plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. The parts of plants include stem, roots, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds.
