A plant is a vine if its stem is too long and weak (woody or not) to support its vertical growth, and so seek such support from other sources (eg, arbours, pergolas, trellises, latticework, other plants, cliff faces) Vines may get that support by means of tendrils, by twining, adhere, or scramble over other taller object, by attaching themselves with aerial rootlets, twining stems, twining leafstalks, adhesive disks, or hooks bot or merely by sprawling over a more rigid plant.

Vining: The action of the verb to vine; Growing in the manner of a vine; twisting and entwining
