The article discusses a study on the active deformation of Halocynthia roretzi after it was touched and the structural difference between the plant's outermost surface and other regions. The researchers evaluated the tunic structure of Halocynthia and the mechanical senses of the tunic using stereo microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser microscopy. The direction of the force of the mechanical stimulus was not considered since touching caused inward deformation.
