Question

Money plant is an example of creeper. Do you agree? Explain?

Answer 1

Creepers:

• No, the money plant is not an example of a creeper because its stem does not spread on the ground.
• Plants are categorized into various types on the basis of the characteristics of the stem such as herbs, shrubs, creepers, climbers and trees.
• Creepers are plants with weak stems that usually spread on the ground. Example- watermelon, pumpkin etc.
• The stem of the money plant is very weak so they need external support from other objects like walls to grow erect and upwards.
• Thus, the Money plant is a climber as it grows erect with the support of other objects.
