Solution

The correct option is A Orchid
Clinging root and epiphytic roots are found in epiphytic plants. This is a type of root in which the plant fixes itself to the bark of the tree and develops clinging or aerial roots. These type of roots are useful for absorption of water from the atmosphere and little nutrients found in the tree bark. The common example is orchids.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
