climbing vine
Ascending leafy growth
A climbing vine is a plant with long, flexible stems that grows upward by attaching to surfaces or supports rather than standing on its own.
Vines climb through various mechanisms—tendrils, twining stems, aerial roots, or adhesive pads: The climbing vine had overtaken the trellis.
Common examples include ivy, wisteria, and clematis.
