Parasitism involves one organism (parasite) living off of another (host) in a harmful manner but without killing the host. Predation involves one organism (predator) killing another (prey) for food.

∙ 15y agoParasitism is not different from symbiosis.
It is a type of symbiosis.
It is when one species is living at the expense of the other. To qualify as a parasite, the organism must be living on or in another organism for the most of its life cycle, derives its food from the host and more or less bring about harm to the host.
An example would be tapeworm in human, which attaches itself to the small intestine of the human digestive system and derives its food from the human.

What is symbiosis?
Symbiosis is a close, prolonged association between two (or more) organisms of different species that may, but does not necessarily, benefit each member. The specific biological interactions of symbiosis can be subdivided in three: * Mutualism, where both organisms benefit. * Commensalism, where only one of them benefits, but the other is not affected. * Parasitism, where one benefits and the other organism is harmed.
Three types of symbiosis?
The three types of symbiosis are... Mutualism: A relationship in which both species benefit. Commensalism: A relationship in which one species benefits and the other species is neither helped nor harmed. Commensalism is not very common in nature because two species are usually either helped or harmed a little by any interaction. Parasitism: A relationship that involves one organism living on or inside another organism and harming it. The organism the benefits is called a parasite, and the organism it lives on or in is called a host. The paraite is usually smaller that the host. In a parasitic relationship, the parasite benefits from the interaction while the host is harmed. Unlike a predator, a parasite does not usually kill the organism it feed on. If the host dies, the parasite loses its source of food.
