The phrase that best describes the ecosystem services that the tree provides for you and your mom is indirect services and direct services.

The apples from the tree provide direct services to your mom, who uses them to make pies. Meanwhile, the shade the tree provides while you read represents an indirect service, as it enhances your experience without offering a tangible product.
