(N/A) Tendrils are sensitive to touch,a phenomenon known as thigmotropism. When they come in contact with any support,the part of the tendril in contact with the object grows more slowly than the part of the tendril away from the object. This differential growth rate causes the tendril to coil around the object,allowing the plant to climb and gain support.
