No, parasites can be both invertebrates and vertebrates. Some examples of vertebrate parasites include tapeworms and lice, while examples of invertebrate parasites include ticks and fleas.
That can happen. Parasites which feed on other parasites are called epiparasites or hyperparasites. Examples for that are Ichneumon flies like Pachyneuron minutissimum. Sometimes certain developmental stages of trematodes can feed on other trematode life stages.
Some parasites are prokaryotic (bacteria), and some are eukaryotic (helminths, protozoans...)
Partial parasites are organisms that derive some but not all of their nutrients from a host organism. They may still photosynthesize or obtain some nutrients through other means, but rely on a host for certain essential resources. Examples include mistletoe plants that photosynthesize but depend on a host tree for water and minerals.
Some protists can be parasites, meaning they derive nutrients and shelter from a host organism, which can cause harm or be detrimental to the host's health. Examples of parasitic protists include Plasmodium, which causes malaria, and Giardia, which causes gastrointestinal illness.

Some microorganisms are parasites, some parasites are microorganisms. However some parasites are very large, for example tapeworms have been found that were 60 feet long. Also most microorganisms are not parasites.
Yes, there are lakes in some deserts. The Great Salt Lake in Utah, Pyramid Lake in Nevada and the Dead Sea are examples. Small lakes and ponds may also be found on some deset oases.
Some examples of animals that live in lakes and ponds are fish, frogs, freshwater clams among many other animals.
Some examples of parasites that kill their hosts include parasitic wasps, liver flukes, and malaria parasites. When these parasites kill their hosts, it can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem by reducing the population of the host species. This can have cascading effects on other species that rely on the host for food or other resources, potentially leading to changes in the overall biodiversity and functioning of the ecosystem.

fish sometimes live in ponds, and otters
Climate,lack of shelter, sicknesses and parasites, food or water as well as the carrying capacity are examples of limiting factors.
