CLIMBERS -

  • Plants with weak, long, and thin stems climb on other rplants.
  • The stem needs support to grow and carry the plant weight.
  • The plants develop special structures or modifications of the stem to climb known as tendrils.
  • The stem grows vertically and the fruit size is small and light in weight.
  • Example - Peas, Grapes, Jasmine, money plant, sweet gourd.

CREEPERS -

  • Plants with weak, fragile, and thin stem and grow horizontally on the ground.
  • The stem creeps due to the heavy weight of the fruits.
  • Modification of stem in the form of roots to support horizontal growth of the plants.
  • Example - Watermelon, Strawberry, Pumpkin.
