Hello friends your answer :

______________________________

Parasites are those organisms which depend on other living organisms (host ) for their nutrition in which they get benefits from hosts but host get harm from parasites.

There are two types of parasites :

1)) Ectoparasites ( e.g.bed bug )

✔️ bed bugs are sanguivores they sucks blood from the host and take their nutrition.they harm the host externally.

2)) endoparasite : (e.g. Taenia solium ) they take their nutrition from inside the host. In endoparasite the alimentary Canal is absent because they absorb digested food of host.

Facts : the members of phylum platyhelminthes and aschelminthes are exclusively parasites.
