One well-known parasitic plant is the dodder (Cuscuta spp.), which lacks chlorophyll and relies on host plants for nutrients. It twines around its host and uses specialized structures called haustoria to extract water and nutrients. Another example is the broomrape (Orobanche spp.), which attaches to the roots of other plants to siphon off resources. Both of these plants demonstrate unique adaptations for survival without photosynthesis.
