Is a parasite eating a host from the inside considered a prey and predator relationship

1 answer

No, a parasite-host relationship is not considered a prey and predator relationship because parasites do not typically kill their hosts in order to obtain nutrients. Instead, parasites rely on their hosts for sustenance and typically do not cause enough harm to kill the host. In a predation relationship, the predator kills and consumes the prey for nutrition.
