Answer:

chemotaxis

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemotaxis is movement of the organism in the response to the chemical stimulus.

Bacteria, somatic cells and single-cell as well as multicellular organisms direct movements of their body according to some chemicals in the environment. This is very important for the bacteria to find the food by swimming toward highest concentration of the food molecules or also to flee from the poisons.

Thus, it is a process by which various cells are drawn to the target area by a microbe invader.
