What are the adaptations of an epiphyte?

  1. An epiphyte is a plant that specifically lives in the tropical rain forest. It is also adapted to live on trees so it can be able to absorb sunlight, which is a physical adaptation. Did you know, that epiphytes are very common in some groups of plants. For example, you may see them with ferns, bromeliads, and orchids. Believe it or not epiphytes have very strong and tough stems efficient in absorbing mist you will commonly see in the morning, along with rain and moisture from humidity, also a physical adaptation for the epiphyte.
