Heliotropic

/ˌhiːliəˈtroʊpɪk/ adjective

Definition

Describing the behavior or characteristic of turning or growing toward sunlight, exhibited by certain plants and organisms.

Etymology

From 'heliotropism' with the suffix '-ic,' meaning 'of or pertaining to.' This adjectival form appeared in 19th-century botanical literature.

Kelly Says

Heliotropic behavior is nature's way of being optimistic—plants displaying this trait are essentially saying 'let's follow the sun' and it actually helps them photosynthesize more efficiently throughout the day.
