It is.

No. The key word in the description was 'usu.' (usually). 'Usually' does not
mean 'always'. Pineapples, although bromeliads, are not epiphytic. Out of the
9 bromeliads that I have in my personal collection only one is epiphytic.
Most like the pineapple can be grown in various soil mixtures. Pineapple is
also unique because it bears an edible inflorescence.
<< as a parasite on another plant>>
I am unaware of any bromeliads that are parasitic. Epiphytes often attach
themselves to other plants but they do not draw nourishment from the plant
they are attached to.
