Parasites can vary in appearance depending on the type. They can be tiny organisms like worms or insects, or even microscopic single-celled organisms. Some parasites are visible to the naked eye, while others require a microscope to be seen.
An internal parasite feeds with his entire body inside the surface (epithelium, for animals) of the host, while an external parasite feeds with part of, or whole body standing outside the host's surface.
No, a parasite is not a producer. A parasite is an organism that lives off of another organism (host) and derives its nutrients from the host. Producers, on the other hand, are organisms that can create their own food through processes like photosynthesis.
Lichen is a mixture of algae / cyanobacteria and fungi. Lichens may look like plants but they do not reproduce with flowers. Lichens do not have roots like plants. They grow on plants as a substrate not as a parasite.
The habitat of a parasite is called a host. The host provides the environment for the parasite to live, feed, and reproduce.

It looks kind of like a pimple, or zit, but there is a parasite worm under it. Look it up on google images if you can spell it right.
The parasite that resembles long white feathers is likely the Myxobolus cerebralis, a myxozoan parasite. It infects fish, particularly trout and salmon, causing a disease known as whirling disease. The spores of this parasite are elongated and can appear feathery under certain conditions. Another possibility is the aquatic worm Ceratophyllus, which can also resemble feather-like structures in water.
No. Deer would be more like a "predator" to a plant, not a parasite.

An internal parasite feeds with his entire body inside the surface (epithelium, for animals) of the host, while an external parasite feeds with part of, or whole body standing outside the host's surface.
A tumor is not a parasite because a parasite is a flesh eating bacterial bug thatforms under skin or in organs. A tumor is like a muscle or like play dough formed by the diagnosion of cancer and tightens aroun said organs or muscles.
hook worms are a parasite that burrows up through your feet and into your stomach and intestines and eat the nutrients from your blood and from the food you eat and also look like rice

They can tell the difference because germs (parasites) have whats called Pili. These look like points or sticks coming off the parasite. White blood cells (WBC) use Pili to tell whether a cell is a parasite or not.
