Explain the movement in pea plant due to growth.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The pea plant climb up other plants or fences with the help of tendrils. These tendrils are sensitive to touch.
When tendrils come in contact with any support, the part of the tendril in contact with the object does not grow as rapidly as the part of the tendril away from the object. This causes the tendril to circle around the object and thus cling to it.
Growth of pea plant is directional and it respond slowly to stimuli.
