Explanation

The rapid folding of mimosa leaves upon touch is caused by changes in turgor pressure within the plant cells, making it a turgor-driven movement. Nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli, while tropic movements involve growth towards or away from stimuli. Growth movement refers to changes due to cell division and elongation over time.
