That’s what they do, they are also known as prayer plants.

The genus Geoppertia has specific cells that absorb or release water, depending on the position of the sun/leaf. This “joint” located beneath the leaf is responsible for the movement. The leaves of this plant in particular, but also of others of its species, are, unlike other plants, constantly realigning throughout the day. At night, most calatheas hold their leaves vertically. It is believed that it additionally protects the plant from predators at night in the tropical rainforest, that would otherwise eat the leaves
