Yes, a leech is considered a parasite. While some leeches are free-living and feed on detritus, many species are ectoparasites that attach to hosts, such as mammals or fish, to feed on their blood. This feeding behavior allows them to thrive in various environments, often benefiting from the nutrients in their host's blood.
