thermotaxis[¦thər·mō¦tak·səs] (biology) Orientation movement of a motile organism in response to the stimulus of a temperature gradient. Thermotaxis the movement of freely moving plants and animals as a result of unilateral thermal stimulation. Positive ther-motaxis is movement toward the higher temperature, and negative thermotaxis is movement toward the lower temperature. thermotaxisenUK
