    Hydro’ means water.  Hydrotropism means growth towards water.

    Materials Required: Seed, A big container, Porous water pot, water and Sand.

    Procedure:
    • The tray should be big enough to accommodate the porous pot.
    • Fill the tray with sand and insert some seeds in it.
    • Make a pit in the sand and insert the porous pot in it.
    • Fill the porous pot with water. • Leave the set up for about a week.

    Observation:
    After a week when seeds are taken out, it is observed that roots grow in the direction of the porous pot. This shows hydrotropic movement in roots.
