Answer:
Cuscuta is a thin yellow ire-like structure growing on hedges.
Explanation:
It is a plant parasite. Cuscuta is a “leafless plant” which has no chlorophyll and does not synthesize its own food. They have branching stems that are thin to thick wire-like structures that parasitize usually ornamental plants or hedges.
They grow specialized roots called ‘haustoria’ which grow into the host plant to obtain food and water. Because of its parasitic nature, Cuscuta is destructive to economically important plants.
