It can be classified into two types: positive phototropism and negative phototropism. 2. **Define Positive and Negative Phototropism**: - **Positive Phototropism**: This occurs when plant parts grow towards the light. Examples include the tips of stems and leaves. - **Negative Phototropism**: This occurs when plant parts grow away from the light. 3. **Identify the Examples**: - Positive phototropism is exhibited by stems and leaves, which bend towards the light due to the action of auxins. - Negative phototropism is exhibited by roots, which bend away from the light. 4. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1: Root** - Correct, as roots exhibit negative phototropism. - **Option 2: Stem** - Incorrect, as stems exhibit positive phototropism. - **Option 3: Leaf** - Incorrect, as leaves also exhibit positive phototropism. - **Option 4: Flower** - Incorrect, as flowers generally grow towards light, indicating positive phototropism. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question "Negative phototropism occurs in" is **Option 1: Root**.
