A plant holder? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tendril

'a plant holder?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tendril that I've seen before include "Thread-like part by which climbing plant clings" , "Slender thread-like appendage of a plant" , "Natural thread climbing plants produce to attach to a support" , "Clinging part of a plant" , "Slender stem on twining plants" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
