Mutualism is a form of symbiosis in which two different species benefit mutually by interacting with each other. In this symbiotic relationship, both species gain advantages and cooperate for their survival and success.
Each organism provides something that the other needs, such as food, protection, or cleaning services. It’s an example of collaboration in nature, where both parties help and strengthen each other.
An example of mutualism is the relationship between bees and flowers: Bees feed on the nectar of flowers and, in doing so, transport pollen from one flower to another, thereby promoting pollination and plant reproduction.
