Solution

Some orchids live underground (subterranean), some grow on rocks (lithophytes), and some grow in the soil, but most are epiphytes, which means they grow on other plants and trees. Orchids tend to obtain their nourishment from the air, rain or moisture in the soil. Orchids are found inn tropical area due to the climate in the tropical region and the evergreen forest present in it.
