One example of a parasite would be the parasitic plant Cuscuta which is a yellow colored climber plant. It produces special kinds of outgrowths on this stem called haustoria. These haustoria penetrate the tissue of the host plant and connects to the vascular tissue. It then absorbs the required nutrients from the host plant.

What is the difference between mutalism and parasitism?

In mutualism, both organisms win... like the bacteria in our guts, they break down food so we can absorb it, and we feed them. Win-win. In parasitism, one organism wins at the expense of the other. Take tape-worms, like bacteria, they can live in our guts, we feed them, but they provide NOTHING of value to us and instead actually hurt us.

What are the examples of non symbiotic relationship between organisms?

A good example of a non-symbiotic relationship is parasitism. This is where one life form takes advantage of another without giving anything back. An example might be hair lice. They benefit from being on the human head, can move from place to place and spread to other people, reproduce, etc., but provide no benefit to humans. It should also be noted, though, that the above refers to the classical definition of symbiosis. Many experts today consider all relationships between two types of organisms to be symbiosis of some kind, but that would mean that the answer to your question would be that there aren't any, so it's probably not what you're looking for.
