Solution:
Endoparasites live inside the body of the host. In accordance with their lifestyle, they have evolved specific adaptations to survive in such environments.
These adaptations include the loss of unnecessary sense organs, the presence of adhesive organs or suckers to cling to the host tissues, the loss of the digestive system (since they absorb pre-digested nutrients directly from the host), and a very high reproductive capacity to ensure the successful transfer of progeny to new hosts.
Ectoparasites and brood parasites do not exhibit the loss of the digestive system or sense organs.
Answer: endoparasites
