Dodder plants are parasitic and do not photosynthesize, so they do not produce their own food. They derive nutrients by attaching to host plants and extracting their nutrients. Therefore, dodder plants are not typically consumed as food by humans.
Dodder is a total parasite . It is because the dodder plants absorbs water,mineral as well as food from the host. A partial parasite absorbs only water and minerals from the host as partial parasites contain chlorophyll.
the non-green plants which live on other living organisms and obtain food from them are called parasitic plants
Dodder plants are parasitic and rely on the clover plant for nutrients and water by attaching themselves to the clover and extracting resources. This interaction is one-sided, benefiting the dodder plant at the expense of the clover plant.
Cuscuta, commonly known as dodder, is a parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll and relies on other plants for nutrients. It wraps itself around a host plant and absorbs nutrients from it. Dodder can be harmful to crops and garden plants if not controlled.
Ofcourse plants can be carnivorous. Leaves of pitcher plant, dodder, bladder wart etc. are modified into insect traps for collecting protein. For this reason plants can be told carnivorous.

Dodder plants are parasitic plants that lack chlorophyll, so they cannot photosynthesize. Instead, they use specialized structures called haustoria to penetrate and extract nutrients from host plants. Dodder plants wrap themselves around host plants, forming connections that allow them to absorb nutrients and water directly from the host.

The relationship between dodder and marigold is considered parasitic symbiosis, specifically a form of parasitism where the dodder plant derives nutrients from the marigold plant without benefiting it in any way. Dodder lacks chlorophyll and relies on other plants for survival and growth.
Dodder plants are parasitic and rely on the clover plant for nutrients and water by attaching themselves to the clover and extracting resources. This interaction is one-sided, benefiting the dodder plant at the expense of the clover plant.
Dodder is primarily found in temperate and tropical regions around the world, thriving in areas with a variety of host plants. It often grows in fields, gardens, and natural habitats, attaching itself to a wide range of plants, including crops and wildflowers. Due to its parasitic nature, dodder can significantly impact agriculture by weakening or killing its host plants. Its presence is often associated with disturbed or unmanaged ecosystems.
