A plant hormone that stimulates cell growth

Real World Example

Imagine trying to fit into a pair of shoes that are a size too small; it's uncomfortable, and your feet feel cramped. This is similar to how plants might struggle to grow if their cells don't expand properly. Gibberellin, like a shoe stretcher, helps by stimulating cell growth, allowing the plant cells to expand and the plant to grow taller and healthier, just as the shoe stretcher gives your feet more room to breathe and move comfortably.
