Vines are a type of plant that typically grows along the ground or climbs upwards on walls, trees or other support structures. Other words that can be used to describe vines include climbers, creepers, trawlers, trailers, and twining plants. Climbers are plants that can actively climb structures by using appendages such as tendrils or aerial roots. Creepers are plants that spread along the ground, while trailers can hang down from structures. Trawlers are plants that grow horizontally and can form a mat-like covering. Twining plants are those that use their stems to twine around a structure. Regardless of their type, vines come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and can add a touch of natural beauty and complexity to any environment.
