Vine
open-in-new
<p>A vine is any plant with a growth habit of trailing or scandent (that is, climbing) stems, lianas, or runners. The word <i>vine</i> can also refer to such stems or runners themselves, for instance, when used in <a href="/facts/Wicker/Kqv19QGC">wicker</a> work. </p><p>In parts of the world, including the British Isles, the term "vine" usually applies exclusively to grapevines, while the term "climber" is used for all climbing plants. </p>
