What is the difference between a symbiote and an endoparasite?
assistant
A symbiote is a creature that lives within another creature. An endoparasite is a creature that lives inside a host organism. For example, ticks are endoparasites that live in the skin of animals, and they feed on blood. Symbiotic relationships can be beneficial to both organisms, while parasitic relationships can be harmful to both organisms.
