👉 Tropism is a scientific term used to describe organisms that have evolved from an organism with a high metabolic rate. In other words, the term "tropical" refers to organisms found in tropical environments where the temperature and humidity are typically higher than those of the cold regions. For example, an organism that has developed a high metabolic rate in its tropic environment would likely be able to thrive in cooler temperatures and have more efficient processes for converting sunlight into chemical energy. This adaptation could help it survive
