<span>The answer for the question is hydrotropism. Tropism is the directional growth of an organism, typically a plant, in response to an external stimulus, such as light or gravity. Growth towards the stimulus is called the positive tropism, while the growth away from the stimulus is referred to as negative tropism. In this case; hydrotropism is a type of tropism where plants bend their roots towards the source of stimuli, that is water or moisture. The importance of this tropism is to seek more water for use by the plants.</span>

Tropism is defined as the propensity of a plant to direct itself away (negative tropism)  or towards (positive tropism) the stimuli. Plants that bend their roots towards a more humid environment exhibits positive hydrotropism as humidity is related to the water content of the environment.

<em>Gravitropism and geotropism have the same definition wherein plants move towards or away from gravity.</em>

Why are there more stomata in the bottom of leaves
Jobisdone [24]

Stomata play an important role in photosynthesis as they allow the plant to absorb carbon dioxide from the environment. In exchange, stomata allow oxygen, which is a waste product of photosynthesis, to be released. In the process, water vapor is also lost as the internal parts of the leaves are exposed. To reduce exposure, stomata are found on the underside of the leaves. They are protected from the sun as excessive heat can increase the rate of water vapor leaving and thus wither the plant. Stomata also have guard cells around the epidermis that close when too much water is being lost.
