What term describes a plant that requires nutrition from a living host plant?
parasite
saprophyte
epiphyte
insectivorous

The correct answer is A. Parasite.

Explanation

In Biology, a parasite plant is a plant that obtains part of the nutrients or all nutrients from another plant. There are around 4100 species of these plants in the world. Its main characteristic is its roots knows as haustoria, which is a type of root that penetrates the plant where it lives to get nutritions. Also, these plants are classified into six groups: a plant that cannot finish its life cycle without a host; a plant that can end its life cycle without a host; a plant that is fixed to the stem of the host; a plant that is fixed to the root of the host; a plant that depends on the photosynthesis of the host plant; and a plant that does not depend on the photosynthesis of the host plant, which means it can make photosynthesis. So, the correct answer is A. Parasite.

there are mainly three domains in biological classification namely; archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

archaea includes all the prokaryotic cells which are characterized by their lipid membranes. they have branched hydrocarbon which is attached to glycerol through an ether linkage.

bacteria includes all the prokaryotic cells, the cell membrane of which are made up of the unbranched fatty acid chain. in addition, they are attached to glycerol through an ester bond.

eukarya includes all the eukaryotic cells, that is, the cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound cell organelles.

they can be autotrophic as well as heterotrophic, unicellular as well as multicellular

they include kingdoms like protista, plantae, animalia, fungi et cetera.
