Mutualistic symbiosis

Mutualistic symbiosis is a type of relationship between two different species where both benefit from the interaction. For example, bees and flowers exemplify this: bees collect nectar for food while helping flowers pollinate, enabling them to reproduce. This mutually beneficial arrangement enhances survival and success for both parties. Other examples include cleaner fish that eat parasites off larger fish and microorganisms in our gut that aid digestion. Mutualism plays a vital role in ecosystems, promoting biodiversity and stability by fostering cooperation among species.
