The word that best describes the relationship between polyps and algae is **symbiotic**. This is because polyps (the coral) and the algae (zooxanthellae) live together in a mutually beneficial relationship, where the algae provide energy through photosynthesis and the polyps provide a protected environment and nutrients.
