Synonyms for Sarment include runners, tendrils, twigs, branches, and shoots. Runners are long, thin stems that grow from the base of a plant and spread horizontally above the soil. Tendrils are thin, spirally coiled structures that grow from the stem of a plant and help it attach to a nearby surface. Twigs refer to small, slender branches that grow from the main stem of a tree. Branches are larger woody stems that typically grow out from the trunk of a tree. Shoots refer to new growth that emerges from a plant, including stems and leaves.
