Answer 2

• Plants that do not have chlorophyll are called non-green plants. Plants, which live on other plants for food, are called parasitic plants.

• A parasite is an organism which lives on or inside the body of another organism and takes shelter and food from that organism.

• Plants that feed on other plants are called ‘parasites’. Those plants that feed on dead organic matter are called ‘saprophytes’. Saprophytes play an important role in the decay process by digesting and absorbing nutrients from dead material.

• A host organism is an organism that harbours a parasite and supplies it with nutrients.
