Ascaris, a genus of parasitic roundworms, exhibits a heterotrophic mode of nutrition. They obtain nutrients by absorbing digested food directly from the host's intestines, utilizing a specialized structure called the cuticle that facilitates nutrient absorption. Ascaris primarily feeds on the host's digested food, which enables its survival and growth within the host organism.
