Bromelioideae is a subfamily of the bromeliads (Bromeliaceae). This family is the most diverse, represented by the greatest number of genera with 78, but the least number of species with approximately 780. Most of the plants in this group are epiphytes, though some have evolved in, or will adapt to, terrestrial conditions. This subfamily features the most plant types which are commonly cultivated by people. Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. ...

Description
The foliage in most Bromelioids grow to form a rosette where water is caught and stored. Their leaves are usually spined and they produce berry-like fruits in their blooms. These plants contain an inferior ovary.
