Epiphytes

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The correct answer is $B$. Most orchids are epiphytes,meaning they grow on the surface of other plants,typically the trunks or branches of trees,for support. They do not derive nutrients from the host plant but use it only for physical support. They possess specialized aerial roots that contain a spongy tissue called $velamen$,which helps them absorb moisture and nutrients from the surrounding atmosphere.
