Parasites live on a host in both plant and animal world. E.g. Staghorns live on the trunk of a host tree. Animal world a tick will live on a host animal i.e. a dog. Hope that helps.

Why cannot other plants survive near carnivorous plants?
Non-carnivorous plants can live near carnivorous one. Carnivorous plants don't eat other plants or anything like that. What you might be referring to is the fact that carnivorous plants tend to grow in certain environments that many other plants couldn't survive in. Specifically, they grow in areas with soils that have very little nutrients. Carnivorous plants can live there because they can get the nutrients they need from their prey rather than from the soil. There are other plants that are adapted to those types of ecosystems is other ways (non-carnivorous ways), and those plants can live alongside carnivorous plants. Most plants can't live in those environments, though.
