Question

state a difference between total parasite and partial parasite

Answer 1

Total parasites are those which completely depend on the host for food and shelter

Partial parasites are those which depend only for food on their host

Answer 2

A plant that is subject to different plants for their sustenance is called parasites. Total parasites are plants that are totally reliant on their host for their nourishment like cascutta and dodder.
