Directed growth of roots in relation to a gradient in moisture is called hydrotropism and begins in the root cap with the sensing of the moisture gradient. Even though the lack of sufficient water is the single-most important factor affecting world agriculture, there are surprisingly few studies on hydrotropism.

Roots of agravitropic mutant or of clinorotated seedlings enabled us to separate hydrotropism from gravitropism, suggesting that gravitropism interferes with hydrotropism in peas (Pisum sativum) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus;

A fifth important response of a plant is hydrotropism, where the plant moves towards a source of water. This is a critical response in plants, because plants require water to produce food. Two more less common tropisms are thigmotropism and centripetal-force tropism.
