Thread-like stem (7)

I believe the answer is:

tendril

(Other definitions for tendril that I've seen before include "Climbing plant's means of support" , "Gripping part of climbing plant" , "Threadlike extension of a plant" , "Coiling shoot of climbing plant" , "Climbing plant's supporter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
