A taxis (plural taxes, pronounced "takseez") is an innate behavioural response by an organism (or cell) to a directional stimulus (a stimulus from a particular direction) whereby an organism moves (orientation movement) either towards (positive taxis) or away from (negative taxis) the stimulus.


A kinesis, like a taxis, is a movement or activity of a cell or an organism in response to a stimulus. However, the movement can be in any direction or even random.
