Through which property tendril encircles around the object? Explain its process and how the plant is benefitted through it?

The property of the plants that cause tendrils to circle around the object is called Thigmotropism. 

Thigmotropism is the directional response of a plant organ to touch or physical contact with a solid object.

The tendrils are sensitive to touch. When these tendrils come in contact with a support, the auxin diffuses towards the other side away from the support. Thus, this part grows more rapidly than the other. This causes the tendril to circle around the support and thus climb upwards.

The plant gets the support of the solid object for growing upward.
