A plant movement or orientation response where a plant part turns to grow perpendicular to the direction of the gravitational force.
From Greek 'en' (in, toward), 'orthos' (straight, upright), and 'tropos' (turning), literally meaning 'turning upright' or 'straightening turn.'
Plants are constantly sensing gravity and repositioning themselves—enorthotropism is how a plant recovers if you tip a potted plant sideways; within days, it redirects its growth to grow straight up again.
