उत्तर

Orchids, which grow on trees, are the examples of epiphytes.

Explanation:

Orchids that grow on trees are examples of epiphytes. They use trees only for support and do not obtain water or nutrients from them. This relationship is a form of commensalism where the orchid benefits by gaining a place to grow, while the tree is neither harmed nor benefited. For instance, orchids grow on mango branches without damaging the tree or depleting its nutrients.
