The "true" mosses grow on the bases and exposed roots of trees, and as epiphytes on the trunks. They are non-vascular and only attach to the exterior of the trees.

Hanging moss or "Spanish moss" is a bromeliad, a flowering vascular plant which is also non-parasitic, but which when too thick can shade the lower branches and inhibit tree growth.
