Vedclass · Answer

(A) An epiphyte is a plant that grows on another plant but is not parasitic; it uses the host plant only for physical support to reach sunlight and does not derive nutrients from it. Orchids are classic examples of epiphytes,commonly found in tropical rainforests. Cuscuta (dodder) is a parasitic plant,not an epiphyte. Viscum (mistletoe) is a hemiparasitic plant. Therefore,the correct answer is Orchid.
