A woody climbing usually tropical plant.
Climbing plant with roots in ground; vine.
Woody, perennial climbing plant with very long stems, which grows around trees up to the canopy, where there is more sunlight. Lianas are common in tropical rainforests, where individual stems may grow up to 78 m/255 ft long. They have an unusual stem structure that allows them to retain some flexibility, despite being woody.
