Answear:

Phototaxis is a kind of taxis, or locomotory movement, that occurs when a whole organism moves towards or away from a stimulus of light. This is advantageous for phototrophic organisms as they can orient themselves most efficiently to receive light for photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

photo means light from the sun, flashlight (etc.) and taxis mean you have to pay something to someone ex: i have to pay my bills on 3/24/2030.
