Mistletoe seeds stick to bark. When the seed germinates, a root-like part digs through the bark into the sap-filled living wood of the
tree. The mistletoe absorbs water and nutrients from the sap. Mistletoe slows the growth of trees and, in large numbers, may kill the
tree. Which of the following best explains the relationship between trees and mistletoe?
A.
Mistletoe is a parasite that lives on trees by taking some of the trees' food and water.
B.
Trees provide shelter for mistletoe, and mistletoe helps the trees reproduce.
C.
Mistletoe is a predator that lives on trees by consuming them for food.
D.
Trees provide shelter for mistletoe, and mistletoe provides food for the trees.
