  1. symbiosis

  Although symbiosis is also used of a mutual relationship that is beneficial to both parties, mutualism is now usually preferred in this sense.

  Symbiosis also means: « The living together in close association of two organisms of different species ». If neither organism is harmed, this is called commensalism; if the association is beneficial to both, mutualism; if one is harmed and the other benefits, parasitism.
