Lianas are woody vines that grow in rainforests. They are often called "liars" because they can look like trees, but they are not. Lianas are not self-supporting and must attach themselves to other plants or objects in order to grow. They can climb to great heights and can even reach the top of the rainforest canopy.
Lianas are an important part of the rainforest ecosystem. They provide food and shelter for animals, and they help to distribute seeds. They also help to create a dense canopy that shades the forest floor and helps to keep the rainforest cool and humid.
Some common lianas include:
* Rattans: Rattan is a type of liana that is native to Southeast Asia. It is used to make furniture, baskets, and other products.
