Answer 2

The living organism from which a parasite derives its food is called the host

Explanation:

• An organism known as a parasite lives on the surface of another living organism's body or inside its body, a process known as parasitic nourishment or parasitism (known as a host).
• The parasite feeds on its host directly, taking nutrients from the host at the expense of the host's life.
• A parasite is an organism whose survival depends on another organism. The host's life is impacted by the parasite's sickness.
• The following parasites can infect humans: tapeworms, fleas, entamoeba histolytica, helminths, and barnacles.
• Endoparasites reside inside the host body, while ectoparasites live on the exterior of the host.
• The host is the living thing that parasites feed off of in order to survive. Entamoeba histolytica, plasmodium, and tapeworm all live on humans as hosts.
