👉 The word "Astroglide" comes from Greek, literally meaning "over the horizon." It refers to a type of plant that grows on top of rocks or other hard surfaces like mountains or cliffs. In its simplest form, it's a thin layer of soil around an organ in the plant. Definition: Astroglides are tiny, delicate plants that grow onto rocks, trees, and other hard surfaces to protect themselves from predators. They're often found under rocks on hills or at high elevations where sunlight is limited, so they can grow even if it's dark. Astroglide growth is typically very slow, making them difficult to identify for a simple visual inspection.
