Question

Distinguish stem tendrils from thorns by giving its characteristic features and function

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A tendril in botany is a specialised stem,

Pointing or spinose processes can broadly be divided by the presence of vascular tissue: thorns and spines are derived from shoots and leaves respectively, and have vascular bundles inside, whereas prickles (like rose prickles) do not have vascular bundles inside, so that they can be removed more easily and cleanly than thorns and spines.

Answer 2

Difference stem tendrils from throns in terms of its characteristic features and its function:

Tendrils

• Tendrils can be defined as the modifications of the stem.  

• Tendril will form after the modification of the auxillary bud and form a thin, highly sensitive structure.  

• Tendrils are coiled, the leafless structure of the plant. It helps the plant to support itself and to climb.

Throns

• Thorns are the thin, hard structure of the plant, produced by the modification of the auxillary bud.

• Flowers and branches developed from the thorns to show that the thorns are the modified form of the stem.
