The fourth one is thermotropism this is a plants response to tempature change if it's cold the plant might die if it's warm it will survive if it gets water.

The fifth tropism is hydrotropism it is a plants reaction to water if it doesn't get water it will die but don't give it to much water.

The last tropism is thigmotropism it is when vines of a plant are growing towards a stationary object like a wall.
