Adaptation of parasitic plants allows them to obtain essential nutrients and water from other plants, enabling them to survive in challenging environments. By tapping into the resources of host plants, parasitic plants can thrive in habitats where traditional plant growth may be limited. Despite their negative impact on host plants, parasitic plants play a role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem dynamics.

the non-green plants which live on other living organisms and obtain food from them are called parasitic plants
Saprophytic and total parasitic plants
No, parasitic plants do not typically grow tall enough to be considered trees. They rely on other plants for nutrients and support, often attaching themselves to the host plant's root system. Therefore, parasitic plants tend to be smaller in size compared to trees.
Parasitic plants
Cuticle is a useful adaptation in plants but not algae because plants need a way to retain water and algae obtains water and other materials directly from the water around them.

Epiphytic and parasitic plants grow on plants. It helps support the host plant.

Saprophytic and total parasitic plants
Parasitic plants such as dodder, broomrape, and mistletoe steal nutrients and water from their host plants through specialized structures called haustoria. These parasitic plants tap into the host plant's vascular system to extract what they need for survival, often at the expense of the host plant's growth and health. This can weaken the host plant and hinder its ability to photosynthesize and produce its own food.
It would be useful adaptation for a seed to need fire to sprout so that it can be fertilized.

Since parasitic plants live off other plants, they could be said to 'eat' them.
