Tendrils are generally modified stems, leaves, leaflets or leaf-tips.A string-like structure which some climbing plants wrap around a branch or trellis to support themselves. Peas have them, as do grapes.A slender, coiled, or twisted filament with which climbing plants attach to their support.In vines, a wiry appendage coming from a stem or leaf and wrapping itself around a support.A cord-like structure which some climbing plants wrap around a branch or wire to support themselves. They are modifications of other plant organs, usually leaf-tips (gloriosa), leaflets of compound leaves (sweet peas), stipules (clematis) or inflorescences (grapes).
