Answer:
Parasitism. After a dodder attaches itself to a plant, it wraps itself around it. If the host contains food beneficial to dodder, the dodder produces haustoria that insert themselves into the vascular system of the host. The original root of the dodder in the soil then dies.

Explanation:
Dodder (Amar bel) is a plant parasite, which is essentially leafless and derives its food from the host plant. It is a vine-like parasitic plant that has special sucking roots known as haustoria. These roots absorb nutrients from the host plant. ... It then obtains all the nutrient requirements from the host plant.
