Bromeliads are members of the pineapple family, bromeliaceae, and are perennial herbs. These herbs usually grow on other plants and lack woody stems. Though some species' common names, such as ball moss and Spanish moss, suggest that these are mosses, bromeliads are actually flowering plants with very small blooms.bromeliads have adapted by having good oxygen transportation and a reduced salt intake.

Well, as you know, a mangrove area is one that is sediment fill and has hydra-saline. They support specialised organisms such as baby fish, lobsters, shrimps, salmon etc. These organisms are able to survive because the roots of the mangrove trees are prop and they provide a surface of attachment for the marine organisms. In addition, mangrove swamps are considered to be a nursery for baby fishes(protecting them) and they also promote water clarity.

So Mangroves grow in salty water. There are two main types of Mangroves; red mangroves and white mangroves.
