    Wouldn't it be a symbiote, not a parasite?

    Iirc, symbiosis is a type of parasitism. Parasites are just stuff, as far as I can , that need another organism to survive/thrive or some such.

    Actually it might be the other way around. That parasitism, and by extension of that parasites, is a subset of symbiosis Wiki.

    No, it's still a parasite. Just artificially for sex not for everymore. But it haven't finished yet, which makes it VETY DIFFICULT to remove from the host

  • What makes a a parasite that kind of relationship of his host?
    Parasite: The host is injured by the other side. Example of this: Intestinal worms, leeches...
    Symbiote: The host is benefited by the other side. Example of this: intestinal bacterial flora, those birds who removes bugs from rhinos and elephants.

    Reading the text, this is a kind of parasite. Everyday is wonderful to learn something!

    This is some good stuff to know. Cool to see that Parasites are under the umbrella term of Symbiotes.

    Well based off of the fact that they don't seem to harm the host, this would actually be considered commensalism.

    There are three types of symbiosis.
    1. Mutualism - both organisms benefit.
    2. Commensalism - one organism benefits, one is unaffected.
    3. Parasitism - one organism benefits, the other is harmed.

    All of these fall under the umbrella of symbiotic relationships, which is just a close relationship between two different species. A symbiote is just an organism living in symbiosis with another organism. The term "symbiote" has different meanings in comic books, but in biology, any symbiotic organism with any type of relationship is a symbiote.
