Question 9

What is a tendril? Explain its use to the plants?

Answer

In case of certain weak-stemmed plants, leaves or leaflets are modified into wiry, coiled structures called tendrils. They are sensitive to touch. As they touch any object, they coil around it and support the plant to climb up. E.g., Sweet pea.
