Detailed explanation-1: -The climbers and creepers both are weak-stemmed plants and, as a result, fail to grow erect in the absence of any support. The main difference between them is that creepers grow along with the soil horizontally, while climbers can grow vertically.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Creepers are plants that have weak stems and can not stand upright. Creepers are also known as prostate or sub-aerial weak stems. They grow by spreading stems and branches on the ground (sometimes water), new plants develop from the nodes of the branches and stems.
