There are some plants that track the sun, e.g.

It's definitely the exception rather than the rule though.

Many trees don't but lots of smaller plants do tilt their leaves towards then sun and can be seen easily in a timelapse. And also like the other guy posted, sunflowers famously follow the sun.

Spamming leaves is probably just the cheapest strategy?
