👉 Parasitizes is a term that refers to an organism acquiring its nutrients and energy from other organisms. This process can occur in a variety of ways, including through symbiotic relationships, where one organism provides resources or benefits to another organism, or by direct contact with the host. Parasitism can be beneficial if it leads to the improvement of both the host and the parasite, but it can also lead to harm if the parasite takes over the host's immune system or digestive system.
