air plant
An air plant is a type of plant, mostly from the bromeliad family (such as species of the Tillandsia genus), that absorbs water and nutrients directly through its leaves instead of roots. They are called air plants because they do not need soil to survive and they are able to extract their nutrients from the air around them. Air plants attach themselves to trees or rocks, and they are native to the forests, mountains, and deserts of Central and South America.
Webster Dictionary
Air plant
a plant deriving its sustenance from the air alone; an aerophyte
