Deprive

Hello,

It (a plant)takes radymade food from the plant on which it is climbing. The plant on which it climes is called host.

Since it (the plant) deprives the host of valuable nutrients, it is called parasite.

I could not understand the meaning of the part in bolds.

Could any body explaint it to me?

Thanks.
