If you want one word that will describe how tapeworms and flukes get their food, that word is parasitism.

Flukes, tapeworms, and planarians are all types of flatworms, belonging to the phylum Platyhelminthes. These organisms are characterized by their flattened bodies and lack of specialized respiratory and circulatory systems. Flukes are typically parasitic, tapeworms are known for their segmented bodies and also parasitize hosts, while planarians are usually free-living and can regenerate lost body parts. Collectively, they exhibit a wide range of ecological roles and adaptations.
an example would be a flea and a dog. The flea drinks the dogs blood, but does nothing beneficial for the dog.
Tapeworms. Flukes and Planaria are also other examples of flat worms.

Some examples of platyhelminthes, also known as flatworms, include planarians, flukes, and tapeworms. Planarians are free-living flatworms found in freshwater environments. Flukes are parasites that can infect various animals, including humans. Tapeworms are also parasitic and can be found in the intestines of vertebrates.
Flatworms - classified as having a flat leaf or flat ribbon shaped body and a pair of eyes up front. Most are parasitic.Examples of the flatworm include Tricladida, flukes, and tapeworms.Roundworms (aka nematodes) - has over 80,000 species which many of are parasitic. They have round bodies of varied sizes.Examples of the roundworm include whipworms, hookworms, and pinworms.Segmented Worms - As their name describes, their bodies are divided into segments.Examples of the segmented worm include the bristle worm and earthworms.
For one thing flukes and tapeworms organ system is mostly reproductive organs and they are monoecious (both male and female organs). Tapeworms produce eggs by setting off a posterior part of themselves called proglottids. each proglottids have an abundant amount of eggs that when they become independent from the tapeworm they have already become zygotes. Flukes don't have proglottids, but reproduce very frequently within themselves.
