Tropism and Dormancy

A sunflower is labeled, Dormancy, to sleep, and, Tropism, to turn.

Plants have the ability to adapt to environmental conditions through tropism and dormancy. Dormancy happens when a plant stops growing and reserves its energy during harsh conditions. Plants also have the ability to move toward or away from a stimulus which is known as tropism.
