Taxis is the directional movement of the flagella("moving tail"). So... the direction of movement by the prokaryotic cell is described in the taxis.

Example: positive phototaxis- positive(toward) photo(light)taxis(movement).

How do bacterial flagella relate to taxis?

Bacterial flagella are long, whip-like structures that enable bacteria to swim and move toward or away from stimuli, a behavior known as taxis. Taxis can be positive (movement toward favorable stimuli, like nutrients) or negative (movement away from harmful stimuli). The rotation of flagella, driven by a motor mechanism, allows bacteria to navigate their environment effectively by altering their swimming patterns in response to chemical or physical gradients. This coordinated movement is essential for survival and adaptation in various environments.
