  • Symbiosis: Understanding Mutually Beneficial Relationships in Nature
    A mutually beneficial relationship between two living organisms is called symbiosis.

    There are different types of symbiosis, depending on the nature of the relationship:

    * Mutualism: Both organisms benefit from the interaction. This is the most common type of symbiosis.

    * Commensalism: One organism benefits, while the other is neither harmed nor helped.

    * Parasitism: One organism benefits at the expense of the other.

    So, while "symbiosis" is the general term, mutualism specifically describes a relationship where both organisms benefit.
