Symbiosis is a close and beneficial relationship between two different animal species. In this partnership, both organisms derive some form of benefit. There can be different forms of symbiosis, such as mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
In mutualism, both species benefit each other, while in commensalism, one species benefits while the other is unaffected. In parasitism, one species benefits at the expense of the other organism.
These symbiotic interactions are common in nature and play an important role in the evolution and balance of ecosystems.
