Some plants however are unable to synthesise their own 'food' by photosynthesis and therefore acquire nutrients by parasitic nutrition from other living plants. Plants that acquire nutrients in this way are called parasitic plants.
These plants have modified root structures called haustorium that they use to penetrate the vascular bundle of host plants and, essentially, 'steal' nutrients from host plants.
Parasitic plants include Dodder, Rafflesia and Broomrape.
