The type of symbiotic relationship between the wasps larvae and the caterpillar would be parasitism.

Parasitism is a form of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one (the parasite) benefits and the other (the host) is negatively affected, often killed in the long run.

In parasitism, the parasite leaves on or in the body of the host gradually get its nutrient off the resources in the host's body thereby depriving it of the necessary resources for normal metabolism. In the long run, the host ends up dying.

In this case, the wasp larva grows inside the hornworm caterpillar, eats it off gradually before rupturing its organs and skin. This ticks all the requirements of a parasitic relationship.
