Liana | Climbing Vines, Rainforest Woody Vines | Britannica liana, any long-stemmed, woody vine that is rooted in the soil and climbs or twines around other plants They are a conspicuous component of tropical forest ecosystems and represent one of the most important structural differences between tropical and temperate forests

Liana - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Lianas are defined as a polyphyletic group of woody plants that ascend to the canopy using the structure of other plants, characterized by their high canopy-to-stem ratio and significant allocation of resources to reproduction and growth, while remaining rooted to the ground throughout their lives How useful is this definition?

Lianas | Rainforests - Earth Facts They start out as small upright shrubs Most lianas produce long shoots with tendrils that attach themselves to a support Eventually they extend into the canopy, reaching it via the understory and lower canopy trees, and sometimes growing up with their supporting trees
