The 4th answer is – Creepers and Climbers.
Based on the growth habits, plants can be broadly categorized as:
1. Herbs – Shortest plant with a green and delicate stem with few branches or branchless. Eg. Tomato, grass etc.
2. Shrubs – medium-sized plant with bushy and hard flexible stems with branches. Eg. Rose, lemon etc.
3. Trees – Big and tall plants with thick hard stems called trunk and many branches bearing fruits and flowers. Eg. Coconut tree, Banyan tree etc.
4. Creepers and Climbers – these plants need support to grow. Creepers creep on the ground and have a fragile stem which does not stand erect. Eg. Watermelon etc. Climbers have a weak stem and they climb upon a support to grow by using specialized structures called tendrils. Eg. Pea plant etc.
