How can you describe the relationship that exists between Trichonympha and the termite?

Trichonympha is a genus of protists that lives in the guts of termites, forming a mutualistic relationship with them. The protists possess enzymes that help break down cellulose from the wood and plant material that termites consume, aiding in their digestion. In return, Trichonympha benefits from a stable environment and a constant supply of nutrients provided by the termite host. This symbiotic relationship is crucial for the survival of both organisms, enabling termites to thrive on a diet that would otherwise be indigestible.
