Are tulip, daisy, rose, peach and eucalyptus terrestrial?

Yes. Terrestrial simply means the roots grow in the ground.


Epiphytic like orchids means the roots grow in the air and may merely attach themselves to tree trunks or bark for support . Lithophytic means the roots grow on rocks. Saprophytic means they derive nourishment from dead matter. Parasitic means they extract nourishment from the host. Hope this helps.
