What is the mode of nutrition of ticks?

Answer 1

Tapeworms don't have a mouth, so they absorb nutrients from their host's intestines. The tapeworm will absorb vitamins that are essential to the host's development of red blood cells.

Answer 2

Tapeworms live in the stomach.

They feed on most everything their host provide them with.

If you eat meat, they "eat meat". If you eat salad, they "eat salad".

The "biggest" problem is that they feast on your food before you utilize the food yourself.

This makes them utilize the food and you become "malnurished".

Tapeworms as such do not have a mouth to eat with, but through the very large surface of their body they absorb the nutrients in your stomach and intestines.

They also excrete substances/"poison" that will slow down your ability to absorb these nutrients yourself.

A somewhat crude explanation but actually correct function-wise..
