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 climbingThe main difference between climbers and creepersare:Creepers spread their stem, leaveshorizontally along with the soil on theground and also bear flowers along with thefruits on the ground. ... Climbers are plants with a tender stem which grow with the help of external support.
