Phototropism

Yes, the given activity is a correct example which describes phototropism

Phototropism is an adaptation or a survival mechanism undertaken by some plants to receive maximum sunlight in order to prepare more food and energy through photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phototropism takes place through receptor proteins called phototropins which act as blue light photoreceptors.

Phototropic activity:

Phototropism can best be observed by planting few plants including phototropic plants in pots and keeping them near the window to receive sunlight.

The natural bending of phototropic plants towards the window denotes their inclination towards sunlight.

The growth of sunflower plants facing towards the sun and blooming of lotus flower under sunlight are all examples of phototropism.

Other plants which are phototropic are Phalaenopsis, azuki beans, fungus of Phycomyces species, etc.
