Epiphyte: A plant that grows on another plant but is not parasitic, such as the numerous ferns, bromeliads, air plants, and orchids growing on tree trunks in tropical rain forests.

Climber: a vine or climbing plant that readily grows up a support or over other plants


Epiphytes and climbers are stratified. Within each synusia two main groups can be recognized: a photophytic or sun-loving group, adapted morphologically and physiologically to the microclimate of the canopy top, and a skiophytic or shade-loving group, adapted to the cooler, darker, moister microclimates within the forest canopy; though the distinction is never absolute.

no brother.epiphytes(epi=above+phyte=plant)also called air plants are the plants that grow on other plants or anything else,while climbers grow independently in soil but climb on others because they have weak stems and can't stay vertically on their own.
