noun

새삼

Any of about 100-170 species of yellow, orange or red (rarely green) parasitic plants of the genus Cuscuta. Formerly treated as the only genus in the family Cuscutaceae, recent genetic research by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group has shown that it is correctly placed in the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae.

Examples :

"The farmer found patches of dodder, a parasitic plant, strangling his tomato plants in the field. "

농부는 밭에서 토마토 묘목을 조이는 기생 식물인 새삼 덩어리를 발견했다.
