Solution

The correct option is A Epiphytes
Plants that non parasitically grow on other plants are called epiphytes. e.g., orchids. Symbionts form a mutually beneficial association e.g., lichens, which are formed by an association between algae and fungi. Saprophytes are organisms growing on dead and decaying matter. Parasites are dependent on their host for nutrition and reproduction.
