Question

Although both creepers and climbers have weak stems how can we differentiate between the two?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The difference is that creepers spread horizontally along the soil. At the nodal regions - where leaves grow - they produce fibre-like roots arising from the base of the stem, which get fixed and grow further. Such weak stems in creepers are called prostrate stems. Climbers take the support of an object for climbing
