Definition
A plant that obtains some of its nutrients from another plant through parasitic attachment but also conducts its own photosynthesis.
Etymology
From Greek hemi- (half) + parasite (from Greek para- 'beside' + sitos 'food'), describing an organism that is partially but not completely parasitic.
Kelly Says
Mistletoe is a famous hemiparasite—it looks innocent hanging in Christmas decorations, but it's secretly tapping into tree branches for water while making its own food, the perfect biological burglar.
