Creepers are special plants that grow along the ground. They have weak stems that can't stand up by themselves, so they spread out. Creepers can cover the ground and sometimes climb on things nearby, like walls or fences.
Example: A pumpkin plant is a creeper. It grows low on the ground and has big leaves and orange pumpkins growing on it.
Fun Fact: Creepers help prevent soil erosion by covering the ground and keeping the soil in place!
