epiphytic plant
An epiphytic plant is a type of plant that grows on another plant, usually a tree, for physical support, deriving its nutrients not from the host plant but from the air, rain, or the debris accumulating around it. Epiphytic plants are not parasitic as they do not harm or extract nutrients from their host plant. Some well-known examples include orchids, ferns, and lichens.
