Rafflesia is a parasitic plant known for its large, distinctive flowers, which can reach up to three feet in diameter. It primarily inhabits tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia, where it attaches itself to the roots of host vines and trees. Its niche involves attracting pollinators, primarily flies, with its strong odor resembling rotting flesh, which aids in its reproduction. Additionally, Rafflesia plays a role in the forest ecosystem by contributing to the complex interactions between plants, animals, and their environment.

what is the lifespan of a rafflesia?
Rafflesia, known for its large flowers, does not have traditional leaves or stems and therefore does not perform photosynthesis like most plants. Instead, it relies on its host vine for nutrients and water. Rafflesia absorbs oxygen and releases carbon dioxide through its tissues via diffusion, much like fungi. This unique adaptation allows it to thrive in its specific ecological niche despite its lack of conventional plant structures.
