Parasites: The plant which lives on or inside another organism and derives the food from it is called as parasite. These plants produce certain special type of roots called as sucking roots which penetrate into the host plant for e.g. Cuscuta plant.

Saprotrophs: Those non-green plants which obtain food from dead or decaying organic matter are called saprotrophs. The saprophytic plants secrete digestive juices on the dead and decaying organic matter and convert it into a solution. They absorb the nutrients from this solution. For e.g. fungi such as mushrooms, bread mould and yeast.
