Adjectif modifier

epiphytic \Prononciation ?\

  1. (Botanique) Épiphyte.
    • Many epiphytic plants solve this problem by forming symbiotic relationships with ants, that is, relationships that involve the close and long-term living together of two species. The plants provide their insect partners with shelter and a supply of nectar, while the ants return the favor by serving as a source of fertilizer – in the form of fecal matter.— (Luise Dirscherl, Ant-plant symbioses: Adapting to changes in partner abundance. scienmag.com le 27 mars 2017)
