It is called "phototropism". It is caused by the destruction (by light) of chemicals (called Auxins), produced by the growing tip, that is responsible for making plants cells elongate. The side in shadow therefore elongates while the side in full Sun does not. This turns the plant growth towards the Sun.

Yes, the sun's light is the stimulus that causes a plant to grow towards it, a process known as phototropism. The plant's cells detect the direction of the light source and auxin hormones help to promote growth on the shaded side, causing the plant to bend towards the sunlight.
