What is the difference?
- 1Growth pattern: Lianas grow vertically and use trees or other supports to climb, while creepers grow horizontally along the ground or other surfaces.
- 2Stem thickness: Lianas have thick, woody stems, while creepers have thinner, more flexible stems.
- 3Leaf size: Lianas have larger leaves than creepers.
- 4Habitat: Lianas are typically found in tropical forests, while creepers can grow in a variety of environments.
- 5Usage: Lianas are often used for their wood or as a food source, while creepers are often used for their ornamental value.
Remember this!
Liane and creeper are both types of climbing plants, but they differ in their growth patterns, stem thickness, leaf size, habitat, and usage. Lianas are woody vines that grow vertically and use trees or other supports to climb, while creepers are low-growing plants that spread horizontally along the ground or other surfaces. Lianas are typically found in tropical forests and are often used for their wood or as a food source, while creepers can grow in a variety of environments and are often used for their ornamental value.
