Symbiotic. Where the parasite returns something in exchange for living off the host. One of the most common forms of symbiotic parasite relationships is certain types of tree fungus. It derives all it's nutrition from the tree but in exchange protects the tree from certain types of insects. The fungus would not survive with out the tree but the tree would survive without the fungus. The fungus gives the tree something in return for it's survival therefore it is a symbiotic parasite.
Parasitism
parasitism is a type of symbiosis
Parasitism is when one organism suffers and the other gains. the host is the sufferer, and the parasite is the gainer. In mutualism, both organisms gain. these are symbiotic relationships.
This type of community interaction is called parasitism. In parasitism, one species benefits (parasite) while the other is harmed (host). Parasites derive nutrients or resources from the host organism, often causing damage or disease in the process.

parasitism
Parasitism is a one-way relationship while mutualism is a two-way relationship
Parasitism is what happens when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. For example, think of fleas on a dog. The fleas are parasites because they are benefiting from living on the dog, but the dog is being harmed by the fleas.
