Solution
The correct option is B Epiphytes Epiphytes are plants that grow anchored to other plants. They grow on other plants for physical support. They are parasitic and absorb their water and nutrients from the rain, air, and other debris that collects nearby. They makeup approximately 10% of all plant species and are common among bromeliads, ferns, orchids, and many more plant groups.
