Hookworms survive by attaching to the intestinal walls of their host, typically humans or animals, where they feed on blood. They have specialized mouthparts that allow them to anchor securely and effectively extract nutrients. Additionally, they reproduce rapidly, laying thousands of eggs that can develop into larvae in the environment, ensuring their lifecycle continues even if some individuals do not survive. This combination of adaptation, feeding strategy, and reproductive success helps them thrive in various conditions.
A hookworm and a tapeworm are classified as parasites because they need a host to survive(get nutrients and energy)
