Definition
A plant's growth response to touch or contact with solid objects, commonly seen in climbing plants whose tendrils wrap around supports. This directional growth helps plants find and secure themselves to structures for support.
Etymology
From Greek 'thigma' meaning 'touch' combined with 'tropos' meaning 'turn.' The term was established in the early 20th century as botanists studied how climbing plants navigate their environment through tactile responses.
Kelly Says
Thigmotropism can happen incredibly fast - some vine tendrils can begin coiling around a support within minutes of contact! The touch stimulus triggers rapid changes in cell growth that create the characteristic spiral wrapping pattern.
