What does it mean when two organisms have a symbiotic relationship?

A symbiotic relationship is when two or more organisms that live together interact, and one or more of them benefits. A mutualistic relationship is when both organisms benefit, for example, a bee pollinating a flower (bee gets nectar, flower gets pollen). A commensalism relationship is when one of the organisms benefits, but the other organism does not get helped or harmed. An example of this is a bird nesting in a tree. The bird gets a home and shelter, but the tree gets nothing. A parasitic relationship is when one organism is harmed and the other organism benefits. A familiar example of parasitic relationships is ticks on any animal (including humans!). Ticks take other creature's blood, harming the creature it takes from, but the tick gets food and energy! Organism - any living thing, including plants and single-cell creatures.
