Definition
Relating to or showing aphototropism; describing organisms or structures that do not grow toward or away from light sources.
Etymology
From 'apo-' (away) and 'phototrop-' (light-turning), with '-ic' suffix. 'Tropism' itself comes from Greek 'tropos' (turning). The prefix combination specifically indicates absence or opposite of the light-seeking behavior.
Kelly Says
Fungal threads growing in caves are aphototropic—they don't care about light direction at all because darkness is their domain, unlike sunflower seedlings that are intensely phototrophic and track the sun like devoted fans.
