Answer:

Cuscuta is a total parasitic plant because it obtains its entire food from the host. But, I don't agree that it lives forever and never dies because parasites live upto a certain period or we can say that they can live as long as they get food from host.

Explanation:

Cuscuta

  • Cuscuta is also known as dodder. It's a rubric of about 201 species set up in colorful colours including, unheroic, orange, and occasionally green parasitic shops.
  • Cuscuta is called amarbel in India.
  • Dodder was formerly treated as the only rubric present in the family Cuscutaceae, but now it's included in the morning glory family known as Convolvulaceae.
  • Cuscuta is generally linked by the thin stems which appear waterless.
  • The leaves are converted into bitsy scales.
  • The flowers of Cuscuta are set up in colorful colours like white, pink, unheroic, cream, etc.
  • The seeds of this factory are bitsy and are produced in larger amounts.
  • The seeds contain a hard coating and they typically survive in the soil for around 5 – 10 times.
  • Cuscuta regrows from the haustoria of the factory and causes infection to the host factory.

Hence, the factory can not die until the host factory is furnishing its food and nutrients. This way amarbel survives numerous drastic conditions.
