Cuscuta is the name of complete stem parasites angiosperm.
Explanation:
Cuscuta is totally deprived of chlorophyll and has no contact with the soil after it has passed the seedling stage. As it lacks chlorophyll it cannot prepare its own food and in this way, it is totally dependent on the host for natural nourishment materials and supply of water and mineral salts.
The slim, light yellow and leafless stem of Cuscuta twines round the stem the host (which might be herb, bush, or tree) and conveys haustoria at certain interims into the host tissue to acquire sustenance.
