A plant that lives in association with animals or in a habitat exposed to intense sunlight.
From Greek 'helios' (sun), 'zoon' (animal), and 'phyte' (plant). This is a specialized botanical term combining sun exposure with biotic relationships.
Some heliazophytes have evolved amazing partnerships—like certain flowers that only open when specific insects are active, timing their exposure to the sun with the presence of their pollinators!
