Best Answer

Many parasitic plants which depend on their host plant for their sustenance;

and also epiphytes, which do not take food from their host, but merely live there.

In NZ, we have some flax-like plants called Astelia, which may weigh 50 to 100 kg; which live in the forks of trees, and accumulate both soil, and a variety of other plants, and even some environment-sensitive worms.
