Answer:
Total parasite plants are heterotrophic plants that depend entirely on the host plant, including shelter, water, food, for all their requirements. Examples: Orobanche aegyptiaca, cuscuta reflexa and striga asiatica. Partial parasites are those that rely, in portion, on their hosts.

Total parasitic plants are the heterotrophic plants which completely depends on the host plant for their all requirements include shelter, water, food.
Some total parasites are dodder, broomrape, and Rafflesia, etc.
Partial parasitic plants are usually chlorophyllous therefore they are dependent on their hosts for water and nutrients only.
Dendrophthoe falcata, Santalum album, Striga asiatica and Viscum album are the examples of partial parasites.
