Answer:

Parasites are plants or animals that live in or on another living thing, getting their food from it while it is still alive. The organisms that they live on are called hosts. Hosts never benefit from parasites. In fact, some parasites eventually cause their hosts to die.

Explanation:

What are parasites ?

A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.

How do they feed ?

Many parasitic animals, such as fleas, ticks and lice, feed on the blood of larger animals. By attaching themselves to their host, they get a ready meal wherever it goes. Some birds are crawling with this kind of parasite. Nest mites lurk in nests where they suck the blood of the nestlings.
