Tendril of a pea plant and phylloclade of Opuntia are homologous. Explanation - The tendrils of a pea plant are leaflets modified into wire-like structures that help the plant cling to support and climb on it. Phylloclade of Opuntia is a green flattened stem with leaves modified into spines so as to reduce the loss of water by transpiration. Since both the plants, tendrils, and spines have a common origin but perform different functions. So, they are homologous structures.
