Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The organism that benefits from the association is called a parasite whereas the one that does not benefit but is rather harmed is called a host. Thus, in parasitism the symbiotic relationship is non-mutual.
Detailed explanation-2: -Parasitism is generally defined as a relationship between the two living species in which one organism is benefitted at the expense of the other. The organism that is benefitted is called the parasite, while the one that is harmed is called the host. A few examples of parasites are tapeworms, fleas, and barnacles.
