The question of circumstance ...
How does ivy cling?
Ivy climbs naturally on almost any surface, smooth or rough (except windows). It needs no support. Its spikes provide a very solid hold. The clinging process was described in a study carried out in 2010 (*).
First of all, bundles of very short roots with microscopic root hairs appear on the stems. As soon as these roots come into contact with a support, they are transformed. The root enlarges, shortens, flattens into a spoon, lignifies and emits a sticky substance that hardens and fixes the ivy to its support.
The glue produced by ivy during this process is now used to make sunscreen.
