Heartworm is an example of a parasitic nematode. Hookworms, pinworms, and trichina worm are also examples of parasitic nematodes. Parasitic nematodes affect plants as well, such as the pine wood nematode.
the non-green plants which live on other living organisms and obtain food from them are called parasitic plants

Mistletoe, dodder, and witchweed are examples of semi-parasitic plants. These plants have chlorophyll for photosynthesis but also rely on other host plants for water, nutrients, and sometimes physical support.
Epiphytic and parasitic plants grow on plants. It helps support the host plant.

Some plants are considered parasitic, meaning they obtain nutrients from the host plant they are attached to. These parasitic plants lack chlorophyll to photosynthesize and must rely on their host plant for nutrients and water. Examples include mistletoe and dodder.
Adaptation of parasitic plants allows them to obtain essential nutrients and water from other plants, enabling them to survive in challenging environments. By tapping into the resources of host plants, parasitic plants can thrive in habitats where traditional plant growth may be limited. Despite their negative impact on host plants, parasitic plants play a role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem dynamics.
Some examples of plants that do not have chlorophyll but live in the environment are Indian pipe (Monotropa uniflora) and dodder (Cuscuta spp.). These plants are parasitic and obtain nutrients from other plants instead of through photosynthesis.
Saprophytic and total parasitic plants
Parasitic plants. They rely on the host plant for water, nutrients, and sometimes structural support. Examples include mistletoe and dodder.
