Mistletoe is a hemiparasitic plant that relies on a host tree for water and nutrients while also photosynthesizing its own food. It attaches itself to the host tree's branches through specialized structures called haustoria, which penetrate the host's tissue. Mistletoe typically produces berries that are dispersed by birds, allowing it to spread and establish on new host trees. This unique relationship helps mistletoe thrive in various ecosystems.
