This is a grapevine that has latched on to a wooden fence. A grapevine is an example of a modified stem of a plant. A modified stem of a plant is a stem that has been altered over time to grow in another manner for a particular purpose. These purposes can be for defensive reasons or for objective reasons. In this case, the grapevine has stems that grow from the ground and extend in a curling manner to drape itself vertically/ horizontally on a solid surface. This helps the grapes receive adequate sunlight, room for growth, and ground - danger prevention.
