What is mutualism ? Explain with suitable example.
Dear Student,
Mutualism is an association of two organisms which belongs to different species. In this type of interaction both organisms gets benefit from each other.
An example of mutualism is Yucca plant and the moth. The flower of the yucca plant relies on the moth for the pollination process. In turn, the moth gets benefited by laying its eggs on the flower and feeding the larvae with the seeds. Thus we can see both organisms gets benefit from each other.
