Some plants close their leaves for protection when they are touched.

This is an example of which tropism?

Answer:

Thigmotropism is plant growth response to touch. An example of this tropism is the curling of a vine tendril around objects that it touches. This helps the plant securely position itself and keep growing, as these types of plants do not usually have a strong stem to keep themselves upright
