Difference between Air Plant and Epiphyte

AIR PLANT vs EPIPHYTE: NOUN

Epiphyte
A plant unconnected with the ground and apparently living on air: applied to epiphytes, but usually not to parasites. Many epiphytic orchids in cultivation are popularly so named.
Plant that derives moisture and nutrients from the air and rain; usually grows on another plant but not parasitic on it

A plant that grows on another, using it as a physical support but neither obtaining nutrients from it nor causing it any damage if also offering no benefit; an air plant.
A vegetable parasite growing on the surface of the body.
An air plant which grows on other plants, but does not derive its nourishment from them. See air plant.
In zoology, a fungus parasitic on the skin and its appendages or on mucous surfaces of man and other animals, causing disease; a dermatophyte.
In botany, a plant which grows upon another plant, but which does not, like a parasite, derive its nourishment from it.
A plant, such as a tropical orchid or a staghorn fern, that grows on another plant upon which it depends for mechanical support but not for nutrients.
Plant that derives moisture and nutrients from the air and rain; usually grows on another plant but not parasitic on it
