These are not adventitious roots like those found on English ivy, Hedera helix, or Phillodendron spp . etc . They are most definitely tendrils, akin to grape vine tendrils ( Parthenocissus is the grape genus ) and though they do not wrap around objects for support, they do have five " sub-tendrils " with " sticky " ? pads that unfurl and adhere to flat surfaces for, I am quite sure, support, not nourishment or water.
