Answer Details
Parasitism is a type of relationship between two organisms in which one organism, called the parasite, benefits from the other organism, called the host, by obtaining nutrients, shelter, or other resources at the expense of the host. The host, in contrast, is harmed by the relationship and may suffer from reduced growth, reproduction, or survival. Therefore, in parasitism, one organism gains (parasite) while the other loses (host).
