A
Amarbel (genus Cuscuta) is a parasitic plant.
(A) Parasite — Correct
Amarbel lacks chlorophyll and cannot perform photosynthesis, so it attaches to other plants (hosts) to draw water and nutrients, making it a parasite.
(B) Host — Incorrect
The host is the plant that the parasite attaches to and draws nutrients from. Amarbel itself is the parasite, not the host.
(C) Autotroph — Incorrect
Autotrophs produce their own food via photosynthesis (like green plants). Amarbel cannot photosynthesize because it lacks chlorophyll.
(D) Saprotroph — Incorrect
Saprotrophs obtain nutrients by decomposing dead organic matter (like fungi or some bacteria). Amarbel feeds on living plants, not dead material.
Final Answer: (A) Parasite
