  • Parasitic plants cannot make their own food and are dependent on other plant for food. e.g., Cuscuta, Loranthus, etc.
  • Insectivorous plants grow in the nitrogen defecient soil and in order to obtain nitrogen they trap insects. e.g., Drosera.
  • Saprophytic plants feed on dead and decaying matter. e.g., Mushroom, Yeast, etc.
  • When two plants exist together and are mutually beneficial for each other are called symbiotic plants. e.g., Lichen - symbiosis betweeen algae and fungi.
