The main difference between total parasite and partial parasite is that the total parasite totally depends on the host for its growth, survival, and reproduction whereas the partial parasite depends on the host only for a certain requirement of their life such as water and shelter.

Answer:

TOTAL OR COMPLETE 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. The leaves of the plant are reduced to minute scales. The specialized roots in holoparasitic plants are called haustoria.

PARTIAL PARASITE:Partial parasites are non-nutrient parasites that depend on the host for water or residence. Partial parasitic plants are called hemiparasites. Some examples of hemiparasites are mistletoe, which is an obligate stem hemiparasite, Indian sandalwood (Santalumalbum) Velvetbells (Bartsia alpina) Rattle plants (Rhinanthus) Indian paintbrush
