(a) Thigmotropism/ haptotropism
(b) Auxin migrate away from the point of contact; less auxins causes less elongation leading to less growth; The side further away from point of contact has higher concentration of auxins leading to more elongation hence more growth and stem curves/ twines along the supporting structures.
