Parasites totally depend on their host to fulfill all their requirements. These requirements include growth, survival, and reproduction. Since they totally depend on the host, they are referred to as total parasites or holoparasites. Partial parasites depend on their host for a few requirements. Partial parasites are also referred to as hemiparasites. They do not depend on the host for nutrition, but only for water and habitat. Partial parasites are usually photosynthetic since they contain chlorophyll. Therefore, they produce their own food. Hence, partial parasites are not completely harmful when compared to parasites (total parasites).
