Because it would deprive itself of its food-source. Parasites thrive by feeding off a 'host' - rather than catching their own food. If they kill off the host - they either have to find another host - or die !
Oh honey, you're talking about a parasite. It's like that annoying friend who crashes on your couch and eats all your food without chipping in for groceries. Parasites may not kill their host, but they sure know how to freeload like nobody's business.
A parasitoid host is an organism that a parasite or parasitoid lives on or in, deriving nourishment at the host's expense. The host can be a plant, animal, or even another parasite. Parasitoids eventually kill their hosts, whereas parasites typically do not.
If you count bacteria and viruses, a virus tends to feed off bacteria.
Habitat
In biology, a host refers to an organism that provides a habitat and nutrients for another organism known as a parasite. The parasite derives benefits from the host while potentially causing harm to it. Hosts can include animals, plants, and even humans.
