How do plants move themselves to face the sun?

Many plants move their leaves/flowers so that they follow the sun across the sky. Also, climbing plants reach out “tentacles” and move around until they find something to grab on to to keep climbing. How do plants do that without muscles or a brain?

They do this by elongating the cells of the stem on the side that is farthest from the light. This type of light-oriented growth is called phototropism.
