Answer 2

Answer:

Any of the short adventitious roots that develop from the stems of certain climbing plants, e.g. ivy (Hedera helix), and serve to attach the plant to its support. Climbing roots are negatively phototropic and thus grow into darkened tissues in bark or crevices in walls. Their function is enhanced by the secretion of mucilaginous substances from the root tip.
