An Epiphyte is a plant that grows off of another plant so it doesn't need soil and it grabs water and nutrients from the air so it does not need to be watered regular-ally..Moss does fall into the category of a Epiphyte

∙ 13y agoThere are a number of types of plants that grow in infertile soils - these are normally fairly specific though and have undergone some form of adaptation to be able to survive in these conditions. Some examples are:
Cacti (and other xerophytes) - normally found in sodic, sandy, infertile or shallow soils.
Halophytes - these are plants that grow in saline soils and can tolerate high levels of salt. These type of plants are found in coastal or estuarine areas or in salt flats.
Carnivorous plants - these are plants that have had to adapt to the lack of nitrogen in the soil, they are able to supplement this nutrient imbalance by adapting their physiology to "catch" and digest small insects - which provide the nitrogen they require.
