(ii) Parasite: Those organisms which live in the body of another organism and take food from it are called parasites. For example, worms, lice etc. (iii) Symbiont: When two different species live together and benefit both, it is called symbiont. For example – Chlorohydra viridissima and Zoochlorella.
