I believe the answer is:

tendril

(Other definitions for tendril that I've seen before include "Climbing plant's gripper" , "Slender structure on a twining plant" , "Plant attachment for climbing N wisp of hair" , "Slender structure on some twining plants" , "Thread-like part by which climbing plant clings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
