What is the difference between locomotion and movement?

Dear Student,

Locomotion occurs when a body changes its position from one place to another. Movement is the change in the shape, direction, etc, of a body parts. Animals shows both locomotion and movement but plants show only movement and no locomotion.

Hope the answer is clear to you.

Cheers!!!!

movement is any change brought about in the orientation of the body of an organism.

every organism exibits movement but when movement brings displacement it is said to have locomotion.

hope that helped!!!!!
