Classifying a Plant's Nutritional Strategy, Worked

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

This procedure sorts an unfamiliar plant's nutritional strategy by applying photosynthetic capacity and nutrient-source criteria from this unit in sequence.

Watch for

Assuming physical attachment to another plant always means dependence on it is the error here — structural support and nutritional dependence are separate criteria, and an epiphyte satisfies only the first.
