Mutualism (biology)
text:
Mutualism describes the ecological interaction between two or more species where each species has a net benefit. Mutualism is a common type of ecological interaction. Prominent examples are:
- the nutrient exchange between vascular plants and mycorrhizal fungi,
- the fertilization of flowering plants by pollinators,
- the ways plants use fruits and edible seeds to encourage animal aid in seed dispersal, and
- the way corals become photosynthetic with the help of the microorganism zooxant
