The stimuli that plants respond to include light, water and gravity.
Plants grow towards light (phototropism). Also in some plants the flowers will follow the sun as it moves across the sky.
Plant roots grow towards water (hydrotropism).
Plant roots grow towards gravity/towards the centre of the earth (geotropism
Driftwood is wood that has been washed onto a shore or beach of a sea, lake, or river by the action of winds, tides or waves. It is a form of marine debris or tidewrack.
/// I'm thinking about constructing a LED circuit within the drift wood to replicate life in a technological form, I'm still considering how I will execute this project because the direction of technology and nature as a basic idea is not what I am trying to convey. I think it would be best to have some kind of stimulus that is based off of censors. May it will respond with the temperature outside. A natural weather detector that connects to a weather station of website.
Here are some links for Audrino weather stations:

The idea of drift wood is something that is never stationary, that drifts among the seas. Maybe I can set multiple time zones and places that I can change the weather of each area to represent the versatilely of the natural weather meter. Maybe have weather for New York, Gainesville, Tokyo.
I would like to get as much versatility with the out of the LED as possible which is why I think the RGB LED would work best to replace weather radar colors.
