The correct pair of tropisms that describe the observations of the plant with deep roots and tendrils that wrap around objects would be:

hydrotropism and thigmotropism.

  • Hydrotropism is the growth of plant roots toward moisture (water).
  • Thigmotropism is the growth or movement of a plant in response to physical touch or contact with an object, which explains the tendrils that wrap around objects.
