looks like kudzu
It is Potato Vine, a very invasive plant not native to Florida. If you look around the area you will find potato looking bulbs on the ground. They need to be picked up and thrown in the garbage. It will take over and smother any tree or plant it grows on. It needs to be pulled off and trashed. Once it gets established it is very hard to keep up with killing it as it grows very fast. Kudzu is similar and spreads over the ground mainly in Louisiana and surrounding states. Your local garden supply will have what you need to put on the stubs once the vine has been pulled and cut off and will explain how to use it.
Kudzu leaves shaped differently, and have hairy feel.
You did a very good deed. We fight this stuff constantly here on our property.
