Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two different species in which both organisms benefit from each other's presence. In this relationship, both species rely on each other for survival, reproduction, or obtaining resources.
An example of mutualism is the relationship between bees and flowers. Bees rely on flowers for nectar, which is their main source of food. As bees collect nectar from flowers, they inadvertently transfer pollen from the male reproductive parts of one flower to the female reproductive parts of another flower, aiding in the process of pollination. This benefits the flowers by allowing them to reproduce and produce seeds, while the bees benefit by obtaining food.
