Are there any species of parasitic bacteria? Or, when you go down that small/to their level, does the classification as a "parasite" start to break down and not really be applicable?

What was the first drug (or other thing, if applicable) that people got addicted to that was widely considered to be a problem? Likewise, what did the very first ways of dealing with addiction back then look like, if there were any?

Can plants get cancer? If they can, is it something that can vary from species to species in terms of how resistant they are to it, like in animals?

What causes some species of animals to not evolve that much for millions of years and become “living fossils”? The most well-known/famous example of this is probably the horseshoe crab.
(In other words,) I know what causes animals to evolve, and why they can stop evolving significantly after millions of years, but what causes some animal species to not evolve FOR millions of years?

I’ve heard of diseases that can cross over from other animals into humans. But are there any diseases out there that have spread from PLANTS to humans before? If not, is it at all possible for diseases to be spread from plants to humans in the first place?

Why is it so difficult to dig extremely deep through the Earth’s layers (past even ‘just’ the crust)? Are there any feasible ways that humans could one day dig/physically go to the core of this planet?
