Question

The type of plant that needs support from another plant or tall object to grow upwards is known as ? also give a brief introduction about them.

Answer 1

Hint: The type of plant that needs support from another plant or tall object to grow upwards because they are having weak and tender stems are known as “Climbers”. These plants also serve as ornamental plants.

Complete answer:
The climbers have frail, flimsy, long, feeble weak, and tender stems which is why these plants need support to grow upwards. They climb to other tall objects or plants with the help of some exceptional structures developed in plants for the purpose such as spines, adventitious roots, rings, or tendrils for attachment. The climber stems twine around trees and branches. There exist a number of other methods of climbing. Some examples of climbers are pea plant, grapevine, sweet gourd, cash plant, jasmine, sprinter beans, green peas, money plant, etc.
A twine or hook is produced from their leaves by climbers to climb. Some plants produce special roots that serve as the holdfasts to climb around certain objects. Many of them are vines whose stems twine around trees and branches. Special structures called tendrils are also used by some climbers to climb on trees.
Generally, the botanists have divided climbing plants into two broad groups:
1) Bines are such plants that include those plants which twine their stems around a support. To aid their grip many bines have rough stems or downward-pointing bristles.
The commercially important bine hops are used in flavoring beer.
-Some other examples are morning glory, Ipomoea species, and honeysuckle
2) The Vines use tendrils, suckers, and other methods such as twining petioles for climbing. For example Clematis species.
-Using tendrils, which can be specialized shoots as in Vitaceae family, leaves as in Bignoniaceae family, or maybe inflorescences as in Passiflora.-using tendrils which have adhesive pads at the end. For the support, the pads attach themselves quite strongly. For example Parthenocissus: Virginia creeper.
-Using thorns as in climbing rose) or other hooked structures, such as hooked branches as in. Artabotrys hexapetalus, by clinging roots as in ivy, Hedera species.

Note:
-The climber stems twine around trees and branches.
-Some plants produce special roots that serve as the holdfasts to climb around certain objects.
-Most vines are flowering plants. These could also be divided into woody vines or lianas, like wisteria, kiwifruit, and customary ivy, and herbaceous (nonwoody) vines, like vine.
-One odd group of climbing plants is the genus Lygodium, called "climbing ferns".
The stem does not climb, but rather the leaves do. The leaves unroll from the tip, and it never stops growing; as they unroll over other plants, rock faces, and fences they can form thickets.
