How do plants bend towards light?
There is a plant hormone called auxins. In a plant such as a sunflower, the auxins will distribute themselves on the dark side of the plant where they will cause the the expulsion of H+ ions decreasing the Ph of the cells on the dark side of the plant. This decrease in Ph will cause a weakening of the cell wall and swelling will occur ultimatly allowing the plant to move and organize itslef towards sun light.

Why do plants grow to the light?
Plants phtosynthesise to produce energy. Photosynthesis involves turning light energy into chemical energy (glucose) so plants grow towards light so that they can absorb more light and therefore produce more energy that they use to grow etc.
