Some Mosses and liverworts can grow on moist rocks and on tree stems.
Two broad groups of plants live on other plants with out the need of soil.
Epithets are plants grow on a host, including some orchids, ferns, lichens, mosses, cacti, and bromeliads. They take no nutrients from the host itself.
Parasitic plants, including different species of orchids and ferns, take nutrients from their hosts, which are often woody plants, but other species of hosts are often used too.
Epiphytic plants such as orchids, bromeliads, and air plants are examples of flowers that can grow without being planted in the ground. They attach themselves to trees, rocks, or other structures and obtain nutrients and water from the air and rain.
Some examples of plants that grow without soil are:
#Epiphytes. These grow on tree branches but aren't parasites. They get their moisture from mist and rain and nutrients from falling leaves and bird droppings.
#Parasites. The Australian Mistletoe grows on tree branches and its roots penetrate the trees cambium layer to obtain nutrients.
In hydroponics, plants grow in a solution of water and chemical nutrients. If you're interested, you can Google "hydroponics" for more info.
