攀援植物 Climber

植物具有木質化或草本莖,但莖枝通常都長得很長且無法自立,呈懸垂或匍匐狀。攀援植物必須借助蔓莖纏繞、捲鬚或根吸附,才能固持定型,吸取更多陽光進行光合作用。

Climber is a plant that has woody or herbaceous stems, which usually grows long by hanging or creeping and cannot be supported its own weight. It must climb on other plants by twining around them with its creeping stems or by clinging to them with tendrils or roots so as to maintain its shape and absorb more sunlight for photosynthesis.
