Parasites. The fourth type of the protozoans are characterized more by the way the live than by the way they move. They are all parasites that feed on the cells and body fluids of their hosts. These protozoans move in a variety of ways. Some have Flagella, and some depend on hosts for transport. One even produces a layer of slime that allows it to slide from place to place!

Yes, Tapeworms are parasites. they live in the intestines, by hooking on to the wall with its head using small hooks called bothria. they live of their hosts' nutrients and leave through feces, and can be picked up again through those feces.
Parasites are some autotrophic plants which take only water and minerals from other plant.
Some parasites are prokaryotic (bacteria), and some are eukaryotic (helminths, protozoans...)
Most parasites don't kill their hosts, because it doesn't take all the nutrients from the host. It only needs a certain amount of nutrients. So it will cause some bad effects on host, but it won't cause complete destruction.
... is called a parasite (but some feed off their hosts' food and not off the hosts directly e.g., intestinal parasites).
The tapeworm can be found in many animals including humans. There are also the common flea, mite and mosquito that drain the blood from its hosts.
Predation and parasitism are similar because they both involve one organism feeding off of other organisms. They're different because predators kill their prey, while parasites may harm their hosts but won't kill them.
viruses are considered parasites (obligate parasites) because they cannot exist on their own. they need the host cell's machinery to reproduce so they cannot "survive" (technically not living) outside the cell.
