Myrmecophytes, or ant plants, live in amutualisticassociation with a colony of ants. These plants possess structural adaptations that provide ants with food and/or shelter.Myrmecodiaare also classified as epiphytes. The termepiphyticderives from the Greekepi-(meaning 'upon') andphyton(meaning 'plant'). Epiphytic plants are sometimes called "air plants" because they do not root in soil. An epiphyte is a plant that grows harmlessly upon another plant and derives its nutrition and water supply from the air and debris found in its immediate environment. Epiphytes are a non-parasitic type of plant and differ from parasitic organisms in that this type of plant only relies on its host for physical support and does not necessarily have a negative effect on the host plant.
Myrmecodiaplants grow in tree branches and on trunks. In nature,Myrmecodiatubers often grow hanging downward on bare branches without significant amounts of substrate, and thus depend upon symbiosis for most nutriment. The plants store food and water in a greyish browncaudexthat swells and grows spines over time. The thick, unbranched stems are covered inclypeoliandalveoliwhich also grow spines and are densely filled with drybracts.
