mutualism is when 2 organisms benefit from each other. the termite benefits from the Trychonympha because the Trychonympha breaks down the CELLULOSE in the wood that the termites eat, which helps the digestive system "clear out". The Trychonympha benefits from the termite because the Trychonympha gets CELLULASE from the termite, which is the thing in the Trychonympha that actually does the "breaking down" of the cellulose. Without eachother, they wouldn't be able to survive.
