Geotropism is the movement growth or turning motion in response to gravity

The flash photography startled the tropical plant, causing her to drop the award. Gravity (geotropism or gravitropism) pulled the award towards the ground (gravity) causing it to break as it landed.

NOTE:

GEO = “The Earth”

As in Geography = the study of the earth.

Gravitropism or geotropism both mean towards the earth or away from the earth.
