Taxic responses are directional responses to a stimulus involving movement. For example, if you shine light on maggots, they'll probably move away from it. This is an example of a negative phototaxis. If an organism moves towards the light source, this is a positive phototaxic response. Some invertebrates also respond to chemicals & this is called a chemotaxic response. Invertebrates may also respond to gravity & this is called geotaxis.

How do woodlice respond to taxic response?

Woodlice exhibit a taxic response by moving toward or away from specific environmental stimuli, such as light or moisture. Typically, they prefer moist environments and will move towards areas with higher humidity, which helps prevent desiccation. Conversely, they tend to avoid bright light, as it can be harmful, leading them to seek darker, more sheltered locations. This behavior helps them maintain their survival in their preferred habitat.
