Answer Details
A characteristic feature of plant parasites is the development of haustoria. Haustoria are specialized organs that penetrate the host plant's tissue and allow the parasite to absorb nutrients and water from the host plant. This is a common adaptation seen in parasitic plants, such as mistletoe and dodder. Possession of holdfast, rhizoids or development of hanging roots are not necessarily associated with parasitism but may be adaptations for anchoring or absorbing nutrients in non-parasitic plants.
