Symbiosis refers to close interactions between two different species. There are 5 basic forms of symbiosis, three of which are the most common: mutualism where both parties benefit; parasitism where one party benefits and the other is harmed; commensialism where one party benefits and the other is indifferent.

There is also amensalism where one party is indifferent and the other is harmed, and synnecrosis where both parties are harmed. These last two cases are more rare than the other three.
