thigmomorphogenesis

Thigmomorphogenesis is the response of plants to mechanical sensation, such as wind or raindrops, by altering their growth patterns. It generally results in common morphological variation among plants without phylogenesis. For example, reduced stature and increased thickening of the stem can prevent stem failure by reducing aerodynamic drag or by increasing mechanical strength.

morphogenesis

Altered growth form in plants and trees as a result of repeated mechanical stimuli, causing changes such as reduced longitudinal growth and stronger growth outwards. Different from thigmotropism (a growth movement in plants that is induced by and moves towards or away from a touch).
