Certain organisms like fleas and tapeworms survive by parasitizing other organisms and absorbing nutrients from their hosts. These parasitic organisms absorb nutrients by eating solid organic substances from their hosts and then digesting and absorbing the nutrients into their own bodies. In contrast, other organisms like squirrels survive by eating solid organic substances themselves which are then digested and absorbed into their bodies.
