Answer:
Hustoria is the appendage or portion of a parasitic fungus or of the root of a parasitic plant that penetrates the host's tissue and draws nutrients from it. Haustoria do not penetrate the host's cell membranes. ... It is a parasitic vine which climbs other plants and takes nutrition directly from them via a haustorium.
