parsites are of two types- ectoparasites and endoparasites...............
endoparasites are those parasites which live inside the body of its host.
ectoparasites are those parasites which live outside the body of the host.
endoparasites take up the food that the host eats as they live inside the body of the host. eg- worms inside the stomach take up the digested food from the stomach.
ectoparasites, as they live outside the body of the host take up the nutrition from outside the body of the host. eg- mosquitoes suck blood from our body.
