A parasite has one main function - to derive its most basic needs (food, shelter, safety) off of a host. The host may or may not permit the parasite to stay, depending on the circumstances. They only take, they do not give anything to the host except for potential pain and/or suffering in some form.
Examples of parasites are tapeworms, fleas, and barnacles. Parasites are organisms that cause harm to plants and animals. Parasites that live on the surface of the host are called ectoparasites while endoparasites live on the inside.
A parasitic animal is one that lives on or inside of another animal in order to survive. These parasites eat food from the animal they are living in as well as sleek shelter.
External and internal parasites are both considered as "bugs".
