An organism that lives inside the body of its host is called an "endoparasite." Endoparasites rely on their host for nutrients and protection, often causing harm to the host in the process. Common examples include certain types of worms and protozoa. In contrast, organisms that live on the surface of their host are termed "ectoparasites."
