Clinging vine

Es un tipo de mata que sube y agarra paredes y árboles como la hiedra.
¿Quál es la palabra para estas plantas?

A diferencia de las enredaderas, las trepadoras usan raíces adventicias (aerial roots), como la hiedra (hedera helix), zarcillos (tendrils), como la pasiflora, y otros métodos.

Los términos que yo escucho más para ese tipo de plantas son los que Rusty dijo.
Generalmente se usa más "enredadera". "Planta trepadora" se usa en lenguaje que se pretende más formal.

¿"Vine" se usa sólo para la planta que produce uvas ("grapes")?
En ese caso: parra.

Aunque he visto que la usan como sinónimo de "grapevine" ("vid" o "parra"), "vine" es un término más general.

Cuando "vine" refiere a la vid, "parra" está bien. Pero actualmente "vine" puede referir a cualquier planta trepadora y no solo a la vid.
