No, foods that allow microorganisms to grow are not called parasites. Parasites are organisms that live in or on another organism and obtain benefits at the host's expense. When microorganisms grow on food, they typically lead to spoilage, not parasitism.

Parasites can provide a niche or environment for microorganisms to grow by altering the host's immune response and creating conditions that are conducive to microbial growth. Some parasites can also modulate the host's microbiota to favor the growth of certain microorganisms that may be beneficial for the parasite's survival.
Foods that contain good microbes include yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, tempeh, and miso. These foods are fermented and contain probiotic bacteria that can support gut health and the immune system.
Phanerogamic Parasites'Phanerogamic' refers to plants that produce seeds. Therefore, phanerogamic parasites are parasitic seed-producing plants.
Microorganisms can multiply through different methods such as binary fission (cell division), budding, spore formation, and fragmentation. These processes allow microorganisms to replicate their genetic material and divide into new cells, leading to population growth.
