Abstract
Orchidaceae, one of the largest and most diverse flowering plant families, comprises approximately 28,000 species and over 100,000 cultivated hybrids, thriving in ecosystems ranging from tropical rainforests to arid regions. Orchids exhibit remarkable ecological adaptability, growing as epiphytes, lithophytes, or terrestrials, and rely on specific mycorrhizal fungi and specialized pollinators for survival and reproduction. This ecological specialization highlights their crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem balance.
