If we look round, we see that while a large number of familiar plants are ter- restrial, that is, grow and live on land, others are either aquatic, that is, have no connection with the ground, but grow and live in water; or epiphytic, that is, grow and live attached to other plants as props or supports; or parasitic, that is, grow and live on other plants or animals, not merely as props or supports, but also derive their nourishment from them; or saprophytiGj.
