A host of a flatworm is an organism that provides the necessary environment and resources for the flatworm to live, grow, and reproduce. Flatworms, particularly parasitic species, often have complex life cycles involving multiple hosts, including definitive hosts where they reach maturity and intermediate hosts that support earlier life stages. For example, the common liver fluke uses snails as intermediate hosts and livestock, such as cows or sheep, as definitive hosts. The relationship can be harmful to the host, as flatworms may extract nutrients or cause disease.
a dead host because a flatworm need a living host
parasites digestive system they live on their host's
after they get inside a host (an animal or person) it starts feeding off from it.
The type of flatworm that has no digestive tract at all is the tapeworm, which belongs to the class Cestoda. Tapeworms absorb nutrients directly through their skin from the host's digestive system, as they lack a mouth and digestive organs. This adaptation allows them to survive in the intestines of their hosts, where they can thrive by consuming the host's digested food.
