The difference between a free-living organism and a parasitic organism is their habit. A free-living organism finds a way to survive anywhere but a parasitic organism has to find a host in order to survive.
A free living organism can find/ hunt/ or produce it's own food, while a parasitic organism must attach itself to a "host" in order to gain nutrients.

Humans are free-living organisms because they are not dependent on another organism for survival. Parasites, on the other hand, rely on a host organism for nutrients and shelter.
