Depending on the type of stimulus, it can be divided into seismic, thermonasty, thigmonasty, electrotropism, etc. All of these are characterized by sensitive movements that occur in response to changes in the strength of the stimulus, and are considered to be a form of adaptation to environmental changes. …
