Ballmoss isn't a moss, but a true plant with flowers and seed. It is a member of the Bromeliad family, so it is related to the pineapple. Ballmoss is an epiphyte, which is not the same as a parasite, Epiphytes attach themselves to limbs, tree trunks, power lines and fences with pseudo-roots that do not absorb water and/or minerals. Epiphytes "roots" mere attach the plant to the structure; they don't take anything from it.
The true believer is like ballmoss when in unity with the Creator of creation. The heart essence of the believer attaches to the unbeliever in truth, but does not take away the character of the hearer.
