Detailed explanation-1: -Plants with weak stem that need support are called climbers. Example: Grapevine, money-plant, bean, etc. These plants exhibit thigmotropism which is the directional growth movement of a plant in response to a touch stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lianas (also known as vines, climbing plants or climbers) are plants with long, flexible, climbing stems that are rooted in the ground, and usually have long dangling branches.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants with weak stems that cannot stand upright but readily climb up the neighbouring mechanical support or a tree are called climbers. For example: Grapevine, Pea plant, Money plant, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -Creepers and climbers have thin slender stems and cannot stand erect without any support. Climbers take some external support to grow vertically, e.g. jasmine, grapevine, money plant, etc. Creepers grow horizontally on the ground, e.g. watermelon, pumpkin, etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -Climbers are plants with weak stems which take support on neighbouring structures to grow.
