Sentences with STEREOTROPISM (3)
What has been said in regard to animal heliotropism might, if space permitted, be extended, mutatis mutandis, to geotropism and stereotropism.
Several kinds of tropisms are recognized, such as _phototropism_ or _heliotropism_, reaction to light; _thermotropism_, reaction to heat; _electrotropism_ or _galvanotropism_, to electric current; _geotropism_, to gravity; _chemotropism_, to a chemical; _rheotropism_, to current; _thigmotropism_ or _stereotropism_, to contact; and _chromotropism_, to color.
And it is stereotropism and not a desire for concealment which impels certain animals such as many worms and insects to get into a close contact with solid bodies, or in other words to "hide" themselves in burrows and crevices.
