Question

What is symbiotic association

Answer 1

Symbiotic association refers to a close and long-term interaction between different species in which both species benefit from the relationship. This can include mutualistic relationships where both species benefit, commensal relationships where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, or parasitic relationships where one species benefits at the expense of the other. Symbiotic associations are common in nature and can be found in many different ecosystems.
