difference between following with some examples parasite and saprophyte host and parasite
Answers
A parasite is an organism that derives its nutrition from another living organism which is called host. A parasite gives harmful effects to host but do not kill him. A parasite may be endoparasite or ectoparasite. A parasite deriving its nutrition from outside the host body is called an ectoparasite.EX: leach, lice. While a parasite deriving its nutrition from inside the host body is called an endoparasite. EX:tapeworm.
A saprophyte is an organism that obtains its nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter. It releases certain secretions which convert rotten and decaying matter into soluble forms which are then absorbed by saprophyte's body. EX:fungi and mushroom.

Examples of parasites are lice, fleas, ticks and mites. The big difference between the two is the way the get their food. A mushroom feed on dead organic matter while a tick feed on a living host. Saprophytes are plants while parasites can be plants or animals.
