trophotropism
Trophotropism is a biological phenomenon where an organism, specifically a plant, grows toward or away from a source of nutrients or food. This response to nutritional stimuli determines the direction and type of growth, affecting the organism's survival and development. The term is derived from the Greek words "trophe" meaning nutrition, and "tropos" meaning turn.
