Kinesis, like a taxis or tropism, is a movement or activity of a cell or an organism in response to a stimulus.

Unlike taxis, the response to the stimulus provided is non-directional. The animal does not move toward or away from the stimulus but moves at either a slow or fast rate depending on its "comfort zone." In this case, a fast movement means that the animal is searching for its comfort zone while a slow movement indicates that it has found it.
