Viruses exhibit a parasitic nature as they cannot replicate or carry out metabolic processes independently; they require a host cell's machinery to reproduce. Once inside a host, viruses hijack the cell's functions to produce new viral particles, often leading to cell damage or death. This dependency on host cells for survival and reproduction characterizes them as obligate parasites, as they are entirely reliant on their hosts for their lifecycle.
