2. Cuscuta is stem parasite and holds parasitic relationship with multiple plants at a time.
3. It penetrates into plants by the help of haustoria.
4. Cuscuta does not have roots and leaves and hence is dependent on others for overall nutrition. Therefore, it takes water and nutrients like carbohydrates, solutes etc.
