planta parasita  

DEFINITION

  • About 1% of flowering plants are parasitic, meaning they extract their food from other plants, their so-called hosts. All parasitic plants possess a special organ, called a haustorium, which attaches to their so-called host plants, penetrates their tissues and draws food and water from them, forming a living physiological bridge between the two plants.
