An Epiphyte is a plant that grows off of another plant so it doesn't need soil and it grabs water and nutrients from the air so it does not need to be watered regular-ally..Moss does fall into the category of a Epiphyte
There are a number of types of plants that grow in infertile soils - these are normally fairly specific though and have undergone some form of adaptation to be able to survive in these conditions. Some examples are:
Cacti (and other xerophytes) - normally found in sodic, sandy, infertile or shallow soils.
Halophytes - these are plants that grow in saline soils and can tolerate high levels of salt. These type of plants are found in coastal or estuarine areas or in salt flats.
Carnivorous plants - these are plants that have had to adapt to the lack of nitrogen in the soil, they are able to supplement this nutrient imbalance by adapting their physiology to "catch" and digest small insects - which provide the nitrogen they require.
Most plants can be grown hydroponically
epiphytes amongst others like cress etc
Phytoplankton, liverwort
are some.
Depends what kind of plant it is
Fibrous roots.
What kind of roots do water lilies have? What kind of roots does a water lily have?
Loam is considered to be the best kind of soil because it has enough air and water space for the roots of the plant to get air and water for the good growth of the plant.

Clasping roots are mainly found in plants called epiphytes. (parasitic plants). Epiphytes grow on top of other plnats and therefore they have no roots underground. Their roots perform the function of support on the host plant. They absorb water from the atmosphere and mineral salt from dust particles which fall on the roots of the Epiphyte.
