A short note about Stem tendrils
Answers
Answer:
Here is your answer
Explanation:
In botany, a tendril is a specialized stem, leaves or petiole with a threadlike shape that is used by climbing plants for support, attachment and cellular invasion by parasitic plants, generally by twining around suitable hosts found by touch. They do not have a lamina or blade, but they can photosynthesize.
Explanation:
-It is a metamorphosed stem or branch, slender and coiled, meant for the support of weak stems. In many cases, as in vitis the upper extremity is transformed into a coily slender tendrillar part. From the axil of leaf on the lower unchanged part another branch comes out whose apical portion is similarly transformed into a tendril and so on; the branches are thus, arranged in scorpioid cyme. The pseudo axes or branches become straight with the leaves opposite to the tendril. In Passiflora foetida (Passifloraceae), the tendril is originated in the axil of the leaf. Function :Serves as a climbing organ.
