The aerial plants often gather nourishment from the air itself using so-called 'air roots';. The humidity of the rainforest encourages such adaptations which would be impossible in most temperate forests with their much drier conditions.
hope this sort of helps
Orchids have specialized roots called aerial roots. These roots help orchids absorb moisture and nutrients from the air, rather than from the soil. Aerial roots also assist orchids in clinging to trees or other surfaces in their natural habitats.
Aerial roots typically grow above the ground or on tree branches, and they can absorb moisture from the air, fog, or rain. Some aerial roots also have a porous outer layer that allows them to absorb moisture and nutrients from the surrounding environment. Additionally, some aerial roots can grow down to the ground and absorb water and minerals from the soil, transporting them to the trunk and branches of the plant.
Prop roots are adventitious aerial roots commonly found in Ficus species.
Plants in the rainforest have adapted to the dense canopy structure by growing large leaves to capture sunlight. They have developed strategies to deal with high precipitation by having shallow roots for quick water absorption or growing buttress roots for stability in the wet soil. Some plants have symbiotic relationships with insects for pollination and seed dispersal to thrive in the diverse ecosystem of the rainforest.
Adventitious roots, aerating roots, aerial roots, contractile roots, coarse roots, fine rootsm haustorial roots, propagative roots, proteoid roots, stilt roots, storage roots, structural roots, surface roots, and tuberous roots.
Because orchids are designed to be an aerial type of plants
Aerial roots
the examples of aerial roots is mangroove tree
Aerial roots are not common in cold areas as they are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions where the soil may be shallow or waterlogged. In colder regions, plants have adapted to obtain nutrients and support from the ground through traditional root systems to survive harsh weather conditions.
Monstera plants grow aerial roots to support themselves and absorb moisture and nutrients from the air.
roots that never touch the ground for example orchids

Yes, monstera aerial roots can be planted in soil to propagate new plants.
An aerial root is an adventitious root which grows from a plant stem above the ground.
They are adapted to the rainforest because their skin changes colour to match their surrondings. also chameleons need some rain or water so the rainforest is good for them!
