A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism, deriving nutrients and harming the host in the process, though rarely killing it outright, as they depend on the host for survival.
The term also applies metaphorically to a person who relies on others for support without giving anything in return, like a freeloader or leech. Parasites include microscopic protozoa, worms (helminths), and external organisms like fleas, lice, and ticks, as well as plants that feed on other plants.
