Answers
Answer:
Herbs
(1) Herbs are small plants having a soft and delicate stem.
Creepers: Plants with weak stem that cannot stand upright and spread on the ground are called creepers. Examples: Pumpkin, Watermelon, sweet potato, etc. Climber: Plants with weak stem that needs support is called climber. Examples: Grapevine, money-plant, cucumber, bean, etc.
The stem of a tender plant can be easily damaged by high winds, heavy rains or poor handling. This vital part of the plant transports the nutrients from the water and soil to its blossoms and leaves. If the stem becomes broken or bent, it can interrupt this flow and can cause your plant to die.
Plants with weak stems like vine grow by taking support from other plants. They grow as climbers on other plants, stones or other supports to get sunlight. Such plants with weak stems can also grow using their tendrils that can attach themselves to the support, by way of clinging roots or by way of twining petioles.
