1. Parasite.- an organism which lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense.

2. Total parasite - Total parasitic plants are the heterotrophic plants which completely depends on the host plant for their all requirements include shelter, water, food. 

3. Partial parasite - Partial parasites are those which are partially dependent on their hosts. Partial parasitic plants are usually chlorophyllous therefore they are dependent on their hosts for water and nutrients only. Rest of the job is being done by their green leaves. Dendropthoe falcata, Viscum album, Santalum album etc. are the examples of partial parasites.
