They don't actually grow towards the sunlight.

As sunlight hits the stem of a plant, the side away from the sunlight, that gets less light, grows faster than the well lit side (or the well lit side grows less than the other side). The faster growth on one side makes the plant tilt in the direction of the sunlight.
