A relationship is when the involved members derive mutual benefits from each other. Consider lichen - the fungus part provides a safe haven for the algae which provide a food source for the fungus!
A symbiotic relationship is one where each party to the relationship gives something to the other. The classic example is sharks and ramoras.

What are chameleon's symbiotic relationships?

A symbiotic relationship is where two or more different species live together to the mutal benefit of each other. A chameleon's ability to change color depending on its surroundings is an adaptation, not a symbiotic relationship. If it were a symbiotic relationship, that would mean that the chameleon would have a symbiotic relationship with a tree, but it would also have a symbiotic relationship with the sidewalk. It just doesn't work.


What is biological symbiosis?

Textbooks now use the latter "de Bary" definition or an even broader definition (i.e. symbiosis = all species interactions). Some symbiotic relationships are obligate, meaning that both symbionts entirely depend on each other for survival cannot live on their own. Others are facultative, meaning that they can, but do not have to live with the other organism. Symbiotic relationships include those associations in which one organism lives on another (ectosymbiosis, such as mistletoe), or where one partner lives inside the other (endosymbiosis, such as lactobacilli and other bacteria in humans. Parasites, for example, have a symbiotic relationship with their hosts, but only the parasite benefits.
