Threadlike part of a climbing plant (7)

I believe the answer is:

tendril

(Other definitions for tendril that I've seen before include "Climbing plant's means of support" , "Part of twining plant" , "Slender stem on twining plants" , "Threadlike extension of a plant" , "Slender structure on a twining plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
