"Symbiosis" is the word that refers to a relationship between two organisms. It has three main subcategories:

- Mutualism: This is a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit. An example of this is a bee and a flower; a bee gets nectar to make food, and the flowers get pollinated. They both gain something from the relationship.

- Commensalism: This is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is unaffected. One example is cattle egrets and livestock. As cattle, horses, and other livestock graze on the field, they cause movements that stir up various insects. As the insects are stirred up, the cattle egrets following the livestock catch and feed upon them. The egrets benefit from this relationship because the livestock have helped them find their meals, while the livestock are typically unaffected by it.

- Parasitism: This is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed. The organism that benefits is called a "parasite", whereas the animal harmed is the "host". An example of this would be a tapeworm inside a human. The tapeworm takes nutrients from its human host, causing it harm. The tapeworm, however, benefits by getting the nutrients it otherwise could not obtain. Typically, parasites will not kill their host, because most parasites need their hosts to survive
