I think it's because at night the plant closes up like a little praying hand, and then in the morning the leaves open up again!

Maranta leuconeura is an ornamental plant that can add a tropical feel to your home thanks to its beautiful and unique patterned leaves. This plant's distinctive habit comes from its nickname, the prayer plant, which means that the leaves remain flat during the day and fold at night like hands going to pray. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor care because it does not grow too fast, so it is perfect for being placed in the corner of the house.
