In the Taxonomy system, the Vine is classified under the subclass Rosidae (roses), the order Vitales (vine-like), the family Vitaceae (vine plants), and the genus Vitis, which includes the Vine (see Vine Systematics). It is a climbing plant that originally climbed trees. A vine can reach enormous sizes and can live for over 300 years in extreme cases.

Rebstock - Traube, Rebstock, Weinberg

The Morphology (appearance) of a vine is divided into three main organs: Root, stem (trunk with Shoots), and Leaf. The entire root system lies underground, with the majority at a depth of 20 to 50 centimeters, which is highly dependent on the respective Soil Type. This anchors the vine in the soil and supplies it with everything necessary, such as Water and Nutrient.
