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.
Some examples of parasites found in ponds include parasitic worms such as flukes and nematodes, as well as protozoa like Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Mosquito larvae can also be considered parasites if they rely on a host for nutrients during their larval stage.
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.

They are parasites
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.

Climate,lack of shelter, sicknesses and parasites, food or water as well as the carrying capacity are examples of limiting factors.

The two types of parasites are:- 1) Ectoparasites :- Parasites which live on the external surface of the host are called ectoparasites. Examples :- 1. Animals - Ticks, Mosquitoes, Bed-bugs, Head louse, Leeches etc. 2. Plants - Cuscuta, Loranthus 2) Endoparasites :- Parasites living within the host are called endoparasites. Examples :- 1. Animals - Liverfluke, Tapeworm, Ascaris, Plasmodium 2. Plants - Many fungi.
