It's a mutualistic relationship.
The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant.
When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds.
So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue.
And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.
The yucca moth lives on the yucca plant and does no travel to other flowers or plants. Adult moths live inside the flowers and the larval stages are all completed inside the yucca fruits as they develop.
the yucca moth and yucca plant are mutualism
The moths pollinate the yucca flowers. The moth larvae (caterpillars) feed on the developing seeds of the plant.
Mutualism
It is a moth, known colloquially as a "Yucca Moth"; scientifically "Prodoxidae". I very recently watched David Attenborough's 'Life on Earth' series where this symbiotic relationship was featured.
a symbiotic relationship is one in which either one or both organisms require the relationship. In a non symbiotic relationship, neither require it.
It's a symbiotic relationship. This type of relationship is called symbiotic mutualism.
One organism benefits and the other isn't affected
*parasitism is where one animal is helped while other is harmed* commensalism is where one is helped and other is not really affected mutualism is where both animals are helped
yucca moth
The Yucca Moth lives in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and the West Indes. Yucca Moths have a symbiotic relationship with the Yucca plant, they can not exist without each other.
One symbiotic relationship is cactus and lizard

What you are describing is a symbiotic relationship.
the symbiotic relationship in the temperate woodlands and shrublands can be between an tree that supports fruit and a animal that eats it.
