उत्तर
An orchid is an epiphyte that grows on a mango tree to obtain physical support and improved access to sunlight. Crucially, the orchid does not penetrate the tree's tissues or absorb any of its nutrients, making it a true commensal. The mango tree is neither benefited nor harmed by the orchid's presence.
