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.
What else can I help you with?
What do you understand by parasitic plant?
the plants that obtain there food by totally depending on host eg-cuscuta
Name some parasitic plants?
the non-green plants which live on other living organisms and obtain food from them are called parasitic plants
What type of plants need sunlight?
Saprophytic and total parasitic plants
Do parasitic plants grow as trees?
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.
What type of plant is the least known plant?
Parasitic plants
Why is a cuticle a useful adaptation in plant but not in a algae?
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.
What kind of adaptation would be useful to an animal that eats nectar from plants?
a long tongue
What is the adaptation to an animal whose niche is eating nectar from plants?
which adaption would be most useful to an animal that eats nectar from plants
Epiphytic and parasitic plants grow on?
Epiphytic and parasitic plants grow on plants. It helps support the host plant.
What list of plants don't need photosynthesis?
Parasitic plants do not need. Cuscuta is an example

Plants whose food is stolen by 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.
Why would it be useful adaptation for a seed to need fire to sprout?
It would be useful adaptation for a seed to need fire to sprout so that it can be fertilized.
Why would it be a useful adaptation for a seed to need fire to sprout?
It would be useful adaptation for a seed to need fire to sprout so that it can be fertilized.
What plants that eat plants?
Since parasitic plants live off other plants, they could be said to 'eat' them.
