Vine species

Vines are plants with long, flexible stems that usually climb or sprawl across supports like trees, fences, or ground surfaces. They often produce tendrils or specialized structures to cling and grow upward or outward, maximizing access to sunlight. Vines can be woody or herbaceous and include many species used for ornamental, food, or medicinal purposes. Their growth habit allows them to cover large areas or structures efficiently, making them vital in ecosystems for providing habitat, shade, and aesthetic value. Examples include grapes, ivy, and wisteria, each thriving through their ability to adapt and reach for light.
