Both are a relationship between two organisms, called a symbiotic relationship. A parasitic relationship is when one organism gains at the other organism's expense. An example of a parasitic relationship is a tick.

A mutualistic relationship is when both organisms gain from each other. An example of this would be honeybees and flowering plants.
