Plants can sense light and move toward it, just like you might turn your head when someone calls your name. Imagine a tiny detective inside each leaf, checking where the light is coming from, and telling the plant which way to grow.
Examples
- A sunflower follows the sun across the sky like a little follower.
- A vine grows up a fence toward the light, even if it’s cloudy.
- A seedling bends toward a window when it's placed on a table.
