A parasite lives on another organism. Not all microorganisms are parasites. Many parasites are very small and are called microorganisms. Many algae are microscopic and are microorganisms put do not live on any other organisms. Mosquitoes need blood and will bite humans but they can be seen. They are parasites since they need a blood meal.
