No, not all movements in living organisms are associated with growth. The paragraph gives examples of movements in animals (like a cat running) and some plants that are not connected with growth but are part of the maintenance functions of living organisms.
Are all movements in living organisms linked to growth, according to the paragraph?

No, according to the paragraph, not all movements in living organisms are linked to growth. While some movements, as observed in plants, are a result of growth (e.g., a seed germinating and pushing soil aside), other movements in many animals and some plants are not connected with growth. Examples provided include a cat running, children playing on swings, and buffaloes chewing cud. These movements are described as not being caused by growth but rather as actions undertaken by living organisms in response to changes in their environment or as attempts to use environmental changes to their advantage.
