Clasping roots are mainly found in plants called epiphytes. (parasitic plants). Epiphytes grow on top of other plnats and therefore they have no roots underground. Their roots perform the function of support on the host plant. They absorb water from the atmosphere and mineral salt from dust particles which fall on the roots of the Epiphyte.
