It is a mutual relationship. The flower needs the hummingbird to drink nectar and get a dusting with the flower's pollen, so ensuring there is cross-pollination as the bird moves from flower to flower.

∙ 10y agoMutualism: members of different species exist in the same environment to each other's benefit.
- Pollination is a form of mutualism called "Service-resource relationship".
- Hummingbirds are pollinators, and plants, like the daffodil, have tubular flowers that take advantage of the hummingbirds method of sipping nectar. So as the hummingbird takes a drink, they are collecting pollen on their feathers and bills and will carry that pollen to the next flower.
