Epiphytes are plants that have a symbiotic relationship with fungi.
What are Epiphytes?
- A creature known as an epiphyte is one that develops on the surface of a plant and gets its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine conditions) or detritus that collects nearby.
- Epiphytes are referred to as phorophytes since they grow on plants. Like all other living things, epiphytes participate in the cycles of nutrients and increase the biomass and variety of the environment in which they are found.
- For numerous species, they are a crucial source of food. More epiphytes typically grow on an older portion of a plant.
- When growing on other plants for physical support, epiphytes are different from parasites in that they do not always harm the host.
