Epiphytes are plants that live on trees without harming them, using the tree for support. Common examples include orchids, bromeliads, and ferns. These plants absorb moisture and nutrients from the air and surrounding environment, thriving in the sunlight that reaches them in the tree canopy. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by providing habitat and food for various organisms.

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
