tropism (countable and uncountable, plural tropisms)
(biology) The turning of an organism in response to a stimulus, either towards or away from the stimulus.
(virology) Which type of tissue supports a certain virus.
(biology): Distinguished from taxis in that in a taxis, the organism has motility and moves towards or away from stimulus (e.g, bacteria, animals), while in a tropism the organism is not motile, and simply turns or grows towards or away from stimulus (e.g, plants, fungi). Similarly, kinesis is distinguished as non-directional movement.
In compound terms, analyzed as suffix -tropism, not stand-alone tropism.
