Answer:
Dodder (Cuscuta gronovii). The dodder contains no chlorophyll and instead absorbs food through haustoria; these are rootlike organs that penetrate the tissue of a host plant and may kill it.

Answer:
Cuscuta is a parasitic plant. It has no chlorophyll and cannot make its own food by photosynthesis. Instead, it grows on other plants, using their nutrients for its growth and weakening the host plant. ... Once they are firmly attached to a host, the cuscuta root withers away
