Epiphytes grow on other plants (typically trees) without being rooted in the ground, allowing them to access sunlight higher in the forest. Examples of epiphytes include many species of orchids, bromeliads, and ferns. A climber ascends, while a creeper spreads along the ground; epiphytes grow *on* other plants. Thus, not all epiphytes are necessarily creepers or climbers, although some epiphytes might also exhibit climbing behaviour.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider the following statements: 1.
