Answer
A parasite is an organism that lives on or in another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense. This relationship is called parasitism.
Parasites can range in size from single-celled protozoa to complex multicellular organisms like worms and insects. They can infect various parts of the host's body, including the skin, digestive system, blood, and organs.
