Hi friend,


1.Cuscutta is a parasitic plant.

2.Though it is slight green in colour it can't produce food.

3.It acts as a host to other plants and take the food and required minerals from that plant and finally it destroys the plant.

4.It is a facultative parasite and has a special root called "HAUSTORIA".


5.It directly gets food and water from xylem and phloem of another plants.

Hope this helps you...
