Bromeliads have adapted to tropical rainforests by developing specialized structures such as rosettes that collect water and nutrients from rainfall and debris, allowing them to thrive in nutrient-poor soils. Their leaves often have a waxy coating to reduce water loss and may feature trichomes, which are small hairs that help capture moisture from the air. Additionally, many bromeliads can photosynthesize using CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism), allowing them to conserve water by opening their stomata at night rather than during the day. These adaptations enable them to efficiently utilize the humid environment and compete for sunlight in the dense canopy.
