What is it called when plane moves before flying?

Taxiing is simply the process of moving an airplane while it's on the runway. It occurs after an airplane has landed, and it occurs before an airplane takes off. Airplanes don't actually fly while on the ground. As a result, the process by which they move on the runway isn't known as flying; it's known as taxiing.
