hlo mate here is your answer.
Interactions between organisms are important for the continuance of an ecosystem and enrichment of ecosystem biodiversity. Various types of interactions can be seen in an ecosystem. Symbiotic interactions and parasitic interactions are significant among them. Some interactions are beneficial for both members involved in the interaction while some interactions are driven at the expense of one member. Epiphytes and parasites are two groups which show two such interactions. Epiphytes are defined as plants that grow on other plants; they depend on other plants for physical support, without obtaining nutrients or without causing any harm. Parasites are defined as organisms that live on or in other organisms; they obtain nutrients and other requirements while causing loss or harm to the host organism. The key difference between epiphytes and parasites is that epiphytes only depend on other plants for physical support whereas parasites obtain nutrients and other requirements from their hosts.
