Why do many vines grow on tree branches instead of on the forest floor?

Vines wrap around rainforest trees because there is very little light below the top of the rainforest. The very high tree canopy makes it so that not much light reaches the forest floor. Vines use trees as ladders to get high into the canopy to access light for their shoots to engage in photosynthesis and promote proper growth.

∙ 9y agoVines grow upward and climb up other plants or trees while using the other plants or trees as support. Vines can continue growing upward and thus, continue to â??climbâ?? up trees with the use of rootlets or tendrils that grow from the vines. As the rootlets or tendrils are being used to attach to a tree and the vine continues to grow upwards, a winding or curling action takes place.

They grow on tree branches because they are exposed to more sunlight than they would be on the forest floor.
