is this a good description for Parthenocissus inserta, and three questions are the end regarding the paragraph?

Parthenocissus inserta, also known as thicket creeper is a deciduous (seasonally loses their leaves) woody vine plant. The Parthenocissus inserta habitat is anthropogenic (man-made or disturbed habitats), forests, shores of rivers or lakes, and rocky slopes. This plant is a climber and climbs by using tendrils. A plant’s tendrils help support the plant growth, makes it possible for the vines to attach itself to another object and provides stability to prevent breaking of its stem. The tendrils of the ticket creeper do not have adhesive disks or pads at the ends. The thicket-creeper do not have aerial roots and has hairless stalks and stems. The leaves are alternate, palmately compound with five leaflets. This means the leaves are attached to the stem in an alternating pattern and leaves originate from one point at the end of the stalk that joins a leaf to a stem. The end of the leaves has a tooth-like shape. The flowers are inflorescence dichotomously branched, without a central stalk. Each cluster can have between 10 to 75 flowers. The flowers ripened to a fleshy, bluish-black berry that contains four seeds. The Parthenocissus inserta (thicket creeper) is very much similar to the Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper).

Where would you add panicle? What does that mean?

inflorescence dichotomously branched what does this mean?

What are aerial roots?

Explanation / Answer

When we are talking about the flowers, their inflorescence in the Parthenocissus inserta, we add panicle ,it means flowers are present in clusters. Flower are borne in panicles and each panicles having 10 to 75 flowers. Inflorescence is dichotomously branched ,it means that main floral axis is divided into 2 branches and then each branch again divides into 2 branches and this pattern is called as dichotomously branching of inflorescence. Aerial roots are present above the soil and they arises from stem . They are of adventitious type root and help in the gaseous exchange ,may be haustorial in nature etc.
