Answer 2

Hey friend,

The non-green plants that grow and feed on other living organisms are called parasites.

Parasites are of two types:

1. TOTAL PARASITE- a parasite such as dodder, which is totally dependent on the host plant for its food, is called a total parasite.

2. PARTIAL PARASITE- a parasite such as mistletoe which is partially dependent on the host for its food is called a partial parasite.
