Plants respond to sunlight through a process called phototropism. They grow towards light sources to maximize photosynthesis. Sunlight triggers growth hormones called auxins, which cause cells on the shaded side to elongate, bending the plant towards the light.

Plants respond to sunlight through phototropism, where they grow towards light sources to enhance photosynthesis. Sunlight stimulates the production of growth hormones known as auxins. These hormones accumulate on the side of the plant away from the light, causing cells there to elongate more than those on the light-exposed side. This differential growth causes the plant to bend towards the light, ensuring it captures as much sunlight as possible for efficient energy production and growth.
