Question
Distinguish between root climbers and stem climbers.

Answer

Root climbers:
  1. Plants climbing with the help of adventitious roots (arise from nodes).
  2. e.g. Piper betel, Piper nigrum, Hedera helix, Pothos, Hoya.
Stem climbers:
  1. These climbers lack specialised structure for climbing and the stem itself coils around the support.
  2. e.g. Ipomoea, Convolvulus, Dolichos, Clitoria, Quisqualis.
