Phototropism. Auxins also play a part in phototropism, an occurrence that involves plants bending or moving away from light. ... The extra auxinpresent on the shaded side promotesmore cell division and elongation, causing the plant to bend towards the sunlight after this lop-sided growth.

The movement in any part of a plant due to light is called phototropism. The shoot of plant shows positive phototropism and roots show negative phototropism .
Phototropism in plants occurs due to the hormone auxin . When light falls on one side of a plant , the secretion of auxin hormone is more in the part away from the light . Hence , auxin causes growth in length of the cells in shady part . So the plant appears to bend towards light .
