A tendril is a specialized stem, leaf or petiole with a threadlike structure.
In weak- stemmed plants, leaf or a part of leaf gets modified into green threadlike structures called tendrils which help in climbing around the support
Entire Leaf is Modified into Tendril, e.g., Lathyrus aphaca (wild pea)
(ii) Upper Leaflets Modified into Tendrils, e.g, Pisum sativum (pea), Lathyrus odoratus (sweet pea).
(iii) Terminal leaflets Modified into Tendrils, e.g., Naravelia
(iv) Leaf Tip Modified into Tendril, e.g., Gloriosa (Glory lily)
