In Botany, what is the diference between a creeper and a climber?

A creeper is a plant whose stem runs horizontally over the ground and bears roots at many nodes along its length. On the other hand, a climber entwines itself around any support it finds and climbs vertically upwards away from the ground. It bears roots at only one point. Vegetative propagation is the main mode of reproduction among creepers.

Both means climbing plants, or those plants which needs support to stand straight.

Reply:A vine is a plant with long stems (woody or not) which depends on other plants or surfaces for support. Vines may get that support by means of tendrils, arbors, or by twining around another object, by attaching themselves with aerial rootlets, or merely by sprawling over a more rigid plant








A deciduous woody vine growing flat on the ground would be classified as a creeper but a deciduous woody vine growing on a building or a garden arbor would be called a climber. A creeper grows flat and horizontally but a climber grows upwards and vertically.

Reply:a creeper grows along the ground, kinda like creeping on the ground where as a climber grows along walls or vertical surfaces, like climbing.
