Question

Which interaction shown by epiphytic plants?

Answer 1

Terrestrial Epiphytes. The best-known epiphytic plants include mosses, orchids, and bromeliads such as Spanish moss (of the genus Tillandsia), but epiphytes may be found in every major group of the plant kingdom. 89% of terrestrial epiphyte species (about 24,000) are flowering plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

Interaction shown by Epiphytes is called commensalism.

Explanation:

Commensalism is the relationship between two living individuals of different species in which 1 species lives with, on, or in another species which is called the host, and 1 of them is benefited while the other is neither benefitted nor harmed.

• Epiphytes are small green plants that grow on large plants for space. Example -Orchids, mosses, and some ferns.

• Epiphytes are also called space parasites. They are nutritionally independent. Characteristically they are benefitted while their host remains unharmed, demonstrating commensalism.
