Most philodendrons develop aerial roots (which become long and ropy in some types) and that assist them in wrapping around tree trunks in their skyward clambering.

IN THE GARDEN XANADU PHILODENDRON CONJURES PARADISE by Daily News (Los Angeles, CA)

Climbing plants may clamber over a support (climbing rose), twine up a slender support (hop, honeysuckle), or grasp the support by special processes such as adventitious aerial roots (English ivy, poison ivy, trumpet creeper), tendrils (see tendril), hook-tipped leaves (gloriosa lily, rattan), or stipular thorns (catbrier).

Carl Stahl. (Specifier's Information) by The Architectural Review

Climbing plants can grasp by twining, climbing, and catching with aerial roots or thorns or by tendrils.
