Question
a plant or animal that is phototropic grows or moves toward or away from light. what does the root trop mean? break or burst light turn or move carry
The term "tropism" in biology refers to the growth or movement of an organism in response to a stimulus. A root tropism would involve the root turning or moving in response to a particular stimulus (like gravity, water, etc.). The word "turn or move" best fits the concept of what a tropism (in this case root tropism) entails as it describes the directional change in growth/movement. "Break or burst" is more about physical rupture, "light" is a stimulus (but not the action of the tropism itself), and "carry" is about transporting something which is not relevant here.
