Tapeworms do not actively seek out prey like many other parasites. Instead, they attach to the intestines of their host (often animals, including humans) using specialized structures called scolex. They absorb nutrients directly from the host's digested food, relying on their host's dietary habits for sustenance. Their life cycle often involves intermediate hosts, such as livestock, where the larvae develop before infecting the final host.
