Plants with this type of growth habit are referred to as shingling plants, as their leaves will tend to overlap  in a row as they climb up a tree, wall, or rock face, giving the appearance of tiles or roof shingles.
Certain plant species with a particular growth pattern are known as shingling plants. As these plants climb upwards, their leaves tend to align in a horizontal line, much like the overlapping tiles on a roof, creating a distinctive visual effect.
