What do you call an orginism that lives off other living orginisms?

To be honest, I'm a little confused by your question. Do you mean Organism? well Parasites are organisms that live at the expense of others. meaning they hurt them. synonyms of parasite is leech or Siphon. however there are other relationships between organisms in which they benefit. This is called Mutualism. there is also Commensalism in which one benefits and the other doesn't get anything and usually doesn't care anyway. hope this helps.
