Solution

Leaf tendril:

  1. In some plants having weak stems, the leaves are modified to form thin coiled structures called leaf tendrils.
  2. Plants with weak stems need a support to grow in a vertically upward direction.
  3. The leaf tendrils coil around the support and help the plant grow.
  4. Examples: grapevine and pea plants have leaf tendrils.
