Total parasite
Total parasite is a parasite that completely depends on the host for all its requirements.
Total parasitic plants are called holoparasites.
They do not produce food and suck the sap from the host. Cuscuta (dodder) is the most common example of total parasitic plants
Symbiont
A symbiont is an organism that is very closely associated with another, usually larger, organism.
This larger organism is called a host.
A symbiont can live on, in, or sometimes very near its host.
Parasitism and Mutualism
Saprophyte
An organism, especially a fungus or bacterium, that lives on and gets its nourishment from dead organisms or decaying organic material.
Saprophytes recycle organic material in the soil, breaking it down into in simpler compounds that can be taken up by other organisms.
