Symbiosis is a close, long-term relationship among two or more species that live and interact together. There are 3 types of Symbiotic Relationships: 1) Mutualism - A special type of relationship in which one organism feeds on and lives in or on another organism. Thus, the parasite and the host organism coexist. 2) Commensalism - A relationship in which both members benefit but one member is not harmed. 3) Amensalism - A relationship in which one member neither benefits nor is harmed, but the other organism is affected.
