Brief Explanations
Prehensile means capable of grasping. In biology, a prehensile tail is one that can grasp objects. The other terms do not describe a grasping - ability tail. Curly refers to shape, exaptation is about a trait's new function in evolution, and phenotypic plasticity is about an organism's ability to change its phenotype in response to the environment.
