Answer:

the answer is parasitic.

Answer 2

Cuscuta is a parasitic plant.

• Cuscuta plants belong to the family Cuscutaceae. All the species of this genus exhibit a parasitic mode of life.
• They are classified as stem holoparasites which coil around the host plant and establish connections to it by haustoria. Thus they obtain the necessary nutrients from their host.
• While in the case of autotrophic plants, food is synthesized by the plant from raw materials in the presence of sunlight.
