An alternative spelling or variant form of geotaxis, referring to movement response to gravity or earth contact.
A variant of geotaxis using the Greek root 'taxy' instead of 'taxis', both meaning arrangement or order. The variant spelling emerged from different transliteration conventions in early biological terminology.
This is basically the same word as geotaxis but spelled differently—like how some older biology textbooks used different Latin spellings. The scientific community eventually standardized on 'geotaxis,' but 'geotaxy' still appears in vintage research papers.
