Solution

Yes, I have seen vines such as pumpkin, railway creeper, kavali, watermelon and grapevine. They have weak and soft stems, so they cannot stand upright on their own.

  • Pumpkin and watermelon vines usually spread along the ground.
  • Railway creeper and kavali spread or climb over nearby supports.
  • Grapevines climb on supports such as poles, wires or trellises with the help of tendrils.

Thus, these plants grow by spreading on the ground or climbing on nearby supports.
