What plant lives on top of another one?
If you mean what plant can live on top of another plant, epiphytes are a good example (e.g. orchids). Here the plant attaches it's self to the bark of a tree, but does not derive any nutritional benefit from the tree. If you mean what plant lives off another then you are referring to parasitic plants, where the plant derives direct nutritional benefit from the host plant i.e. it gets its nutrients and water from the host plant. An example of this is the Dodder plant/ vine
