Solution

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct.
Cuscuta (amar-bel) is a parasitic plant. They have special roots that penetrate the host plant tissue to absorb nutrients for their growth. In this process, they do not kill the host. Other organisms like ticks, tapeworms, lice, and leeches rely on parasitic nutritive strategies.

Yeasts live on the dead and decaying matter. They release digestive juices and breakdown the complex organic matter into simple compounds. The nutrients thus produced are absorbed directly through the cell membranes of the organism.
