Write two examples of plants with climbing roots.

Open in App
Solution

Climbing roots are the adventitious roots that arise from the nodes or internodes in plants having weak stems. These roots help the plants in climbing by penetrating the cracks of the support, as in Pothos (money plant) or they may stick firmly to a support by secreting a cementing gummy substance, as in Ficus pumila.
