Turning or responding to the direction of the wind; relating to organisms or structures that orient themselves according to wind direction.
From Greek 'aiolos' (wind) + 'tropic' (turning toward). The term is used in biology and ecology to describe wind-responsive behaviors or characteristics.
Some plants actually twist and bend specifically to face the wind direction—it's like they have a built-in wind compass that helps them reduce wind damage!
