Commensalism is a situation in which two organisms are associated in a relationship in which one benefits from the relationship and the other is not affected much. The two animals are called commensals. This is one type of symbiosis.

An example is bromeliads (plants living on trees in rainforests) and frogs; the frogs get shelter and water from the bromeliad, but the bromeliad is unaffected.

One organism uses another to get a better position in the environment and

neither organism is harmed, and there is no physiological interaction between the two organisms. Among plants, this can apply in shaded areas where vines climb up trees to reach sunlight.

Similarly, some fungi "climb" (grow) up trees and vines (while not gaining nutrition from them) in order to release their spores from as high a location as possible.

Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms wherein one benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited. An example of commensalism in a tropical rain forest is the association between a frog and a bromeliad. The frog gets water and shelter from the bromeliad but the bromeliad remains unaffected.

There are many examples of commensalism in a tropical rainforest. An example would be a frog living in a tree. The frog receives shelter, and the tree doesn't receive anything in return. Commensalism applies to most relationships like this in the rainforest.

Another example would be an insect laying their eggs in the dung of a larger animal. The insect receives shelter for it's eggs while there is no effect on the larger animal at all.

Hope these examples helped.
