That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
When a person stands on their tiptoes, their ankles move in a motion called plantar flexion. Plantar flexion is the movement where the top of the foot moves away from the shin, pointing the toes downward. This motion allows the person to reach higher and extend their reach, enabling them to get their hands on the favorite dish in the cupboard.
