ephiphyte of course, it cause no harm to its host unlike parasite, mind you, saprophytes feed on dead, decaying organisms, d tree is not DEAD
An epiphyte relationship One benefits while the other one does not benefits or get harm.
An parasitic relationship one benefits while the other one gets harm.
An Hermaphrodites is not a relationship one it is an organism with both male and female reproductive parts.
A predator are animals that seek a prey and kills it and is not a relationship it is a mode of feeding.
it''s a two Greek words which are epi (upon) and phyton (plant) it can grow in any suitable environment but mainly found on the branches, stem, even leaves of another plant or tree. It''s non parasitic, both could benefit from each other. (Benefit 1 the host: the host anchor it, provides, nutrnts, benefit 2 epiphyte provides nutnts in the sense dat wen de leaf or any part dies, its add or becomes nutrients to the soil that will aid de host 2 grow healthy) although it''s oftn said dt oly 1 bene.
for example a plant that grows on a bamboo tree (oparun) in Yoruba is an epiphyte
The process is COMMENSALISM. It is because their source of food are thesame i.e sunlight.
yh epiphyte are plant that grows on anoda plant in order to gain sunlight and other plant nutrients for its growth widout causing any harm to the plant
the answer is epiphyte because,the epiphyte gets a site (a tree) where it can get enough sunlight to carry out photosynthesis.this association is known as commensalism.
yea its epiphyte because it carries out a commesalism association..neither does it looses nor gains
