What is an example of commensalism in the Australian outback?
An example of commensalism in the Australian outback is the relationship between certain epiphytic plants, like orchids or ferns, and eucalyptus trees. The orchids grow on the branches of the trees, benefiting from the elevated position for sunlight and moisture without harming the host tree. The eucalyptus tree is neither helped nor harmed by the presence of the orchids, making this a clear case of commensalism.

Commenalism
What do trees get from the orchids in return?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the orchid ad trees relationship?
The relationship between orchids and trees, known as epiphytism, offers advantages such as increased access to sunlight and reduced competition for ground resources, allowing orchids to thrive in diverse environments. However, disadvantages include vulnerability to environmental changes and potential reliance on the host tree for moisture and nutrients. If the host tree suffers from disease or stress, the orchid may also be adversely affected. Additionally, this relationship can become parasitic if the orchid significantly harms the tree's health.
Why do orchids need to be placed in a tree?
Not all Orchids need to grow on trees, only the epiphytes, terrestiall Orchids grow in the soil.
