A long, woody vine that grows in tropical rainforests and hangs from trees.
From French 'liane,' borrowed from an African or South American language. The word entered English in the 17th century as explorers described rainforest vegetation.
Lianes are like nature's rope—some can grow as thick as a person's arm and hang hundreds of feet from rainforest canopies, and they're so important that entire ecosystems depend on them for paths and support.
