Hormones secreted by plants are known as phytohormones. 

For example- 

• Auxin- This is the growth hormone secreted by the tip of the shoot of the plant and promotes the growth of the plant.

• Abscisic acid- This hormone restricts the growth of the plant. It is responsible for the wilting of leaves. 

• Gibberellins- It promotes the growth of the stem of the plant. 

• Cytokinin- This hormone promotes the cell division process. It is present in those areas where cell division takes place at a higher rate.
