climbing plant
Tendril-bearing greenery
A climbing plant is one that grows upward by attaching itself to surfaces or other plants rather than supporting itself with a sturdy trunk or stem.
Climbers use various mechanisms—tendrils, twining stems, aerial roots, or adhesive pads—to ascend walls, trellises, trees, or other structures.
Ivy, clematis, and grapevines are common examples.
