    Both creepers and climbers are weak-stemmed plants and, hence, cannot grow erect without support. The difference is that creepers spread horizontally along the soil. At the nodal regions - where leaves grow - they produce fibre-like roots arising from the base of the stem, which get fixed and grow further. Such stems in creepers are called prostrate stems. Climbers take the support of an object for climbing. Some climbers twine around supporting plants in a spiral manner; some of them produce hooks to climb, and some others produce special roots serving as holdfasts.
