Answer Details
Bacteria swimming from cold to warm regions is known as positive thermotaxis. This means that the bacteria are attracted to warmer temperatures and will move towards them. Bacteria use different types of taxis, such as chemotaxis and phototaxis, to move towards or away from different stimuli in their environment. In this case, the warm temperature acts as a stimulus that the bacteria are moving towards, which is why it is called positive thermotaxis.
