Answer:

definition with benefit is given below of

1st. gravitropism

2nd. phototropism

3rd. thigmotropism

4th. photoperiod

Step-by-step explanation:

1st is gravitropism

gravitropism is process in which plant grow in the direction that gravity act

It is also called geotropism

and

Gravitropism is important for plants because it directs the roots to grow in the downward direction that is important for obtaining nutrients

2nd is phototropism

phototropism is the process in which plant growth directed by the light

and

we know plants need light to carry out photosynthesis

so Phototropism direct the growth of the stem and branch toward sunlight

3rd is thigmotropism

thigmotropism is the directional change in growth of plant in response to a touch stimulus

and

thigmotropism is especially important for climbing plant that is use support to climb up

4th is photoperiod

photoperiod is the physiological change in organism in the response to length of the day and night

and

it play important role to determining the physiological developmental process in the plant such as budding and tuberization
