A symbiotic relationship is one that is beneficial to both parties. Lichen is a common example.

Another relationship is parasitism, where one member extracts food from the other but offers nothing in return. Mistletoe plants are this category.

And a third relationship is epiphytic, where one member takes advantage of position, but takes nothing from the host. Lianes, and perching plants demonstrate this.

What are chameleon's symbiotic relationships?

A symbiotic relationship is where two or more different species live together to the mutal benefit of each other. A chameleon's ability to change color depending on its surroundings is an adaptation, not a symbiotic relationship. If it were a symbiotic relationship, that would mean that the chameleon would have a symbiotic relationship with a tree, but it would also have a symbiotic relationship with the sidewalk. It just doesn't work.
