Step-by-step explanation:

Dodder is classified as a parasite because it absorbs nutrients from its host. It has no roots when it's mature and gets food, water, and minerals from the host. Mistletoe is classified as a hemiparasite.Mistletoe absorbs water and minerals from its host, but makes its own food via photosynthesis.
