Question

Name two types of tendrils with an example of each.

Answer 1

• Stem Tendrils: These structures are modified stems or branches that coil around objects for support, and a classic example is found in the passionflower plant.
• Leaf Tendrils: These structures are formed when the entire leaf or a part of the leaf gets modified into a thread-like coil to help the plant climb, and a prime example is the sweet pea plant.
