Answer 2

Answer:

Cuscuta, also commonly know as Amarbel is a parasite and obtains nutrition from the host plant.The plant on which cuscuta is growing will not grow as well as the plant with no cuscuta.

Explanation:

•Cuscuta are yellow coloured string like plants twinning around branches and bark of trees.

•Cuscuta is a parasitic plant, devoid of chlorophyll and so is unable to make food by photosynthesis.

•It sucks nutrition and food prepared by the host plant on which it grows.

• In case of two plants, one with cuscuta growing on it and the other without it, the one devoid of cuscuta will show better growth than the other as this plant will be able to use all the food that it produces for its own growth and development.
