  1. Cuscuta is a
    1. partial stem parasite
    2. complete stem parasite
    3. partial root parasite
    4. complete root parasite
Correct Option: B

Cuscuta (Dodder) is a genus of about 100-170 species of yellow, orange or red (rarely green) parasitic plants. Dodders are supremely adapted for a life of plunder and pillage. Reduced in form to scrambling and twining threads, they appear to be completely leafless, although closer inspection reveals tiny scale leaves pressed close to the stems. So it is a stem parasite.
