Plants use the tendrils to anchor themselves to any available support. This allows the plants to grow better.

Tendrils are used by the plant to grasp any support nearby, thus allowing the plant to get more sunshine, and to avoid falling over. (Domestic) garden peas for example will not self support - they need something to climb. Varieties for commercial use are chosen so they may be machine harvested for just the one crop.

Tendrils allow plants to respond to thigmotropism (a plant's response to touch) and grab hold of things (e.g. a vine "grabbing" onto a fence or wall)

The tendrils enable the plant to climb, either up the stem of other plants or bushes, or garden canes and netting erected by gardeners.
