If taller people indeed are more intelligent, it could be simply via larger volume
of their heads (taller people probably have larger skulls and thus larger brains).

I'd contend, though, that the difference can be alternatively explained by purely
environmental factors. Taller kids grow up to be more confident and this can
allow them to reach more of their genetic potential.
