Question

plants which cannot make their own food and obtain it from host​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plants generally make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. These plants are called autotrophs (self-feeding). However, some species have taken a different route for nourishment. These plants, called heterotrophs (other feeding), lack chlorophyll and cannot make their own food.

Answer 2

Plants which cannot make their own food and obtain it from host are heterotrophs.

• In general, photosynthesis allows plants to produce their own sustenance.
• Autotrophs are these plants (self-feeding). Some species, however, have chosen a different strategy for obtaining food.
• These plants, referred to as heterotrophs (other eating), are chlorophyll-deficient and unable to produce their own sustenance.
• Such plants are easily identified by their lack of any green parts and frequent succulent characteristics.
• Some orchid species and monotropes, which are a subgroup of the Heath family, Ericaceae, are the plant species that do this most frequently.
• Blueberries, rhododendrons, wintergreen, and many other members of the well-known and varied Ericaceae family are considerably distinct from monotropes, to the point where some taxonomic treatments group them into their own family, Monotropaceae.

Hence, the answer is heterotrophs.
