Mutualism means they both benefit each other. The mycorrhiza (from the fungus) benefit the tree by gathering water and nutrients from farther than the roots go in the ground, and bringing it to the tree. The tree benefits the fungus by bringing it sugars produced by photosynthesis.
A mutualistic relationship between the mycorrhizae and the roots of the trees.
A tree
Mycorrhiza!
Humans do have a mutualistic and pathogenic relationship with the same organism. This is the planet earth. We are constantly fighting to stay on the mutualistic side of the relationship vs the pathogenic.
The whistling thorn tree, known for its hollow thorns that house mutualistic ants, is primarily consumed by herbivores such as giraffes and elephants. These animals feed on the leaves and pods of the tree, while the ants protect the tree from herbivory and other threats. This mutualistic relationship benefits both the tree and the animals that feed on it.
the answer is they have a mutualistic relationship
The ant and the acacia tree have a mutualistic relationship. The ant depends on the sugar provided by the tree's nectar. In turn, the tree is protected by these ants from insect pests that could harm it.

Mutualistic
The associations formed by fungi in mycorrhizae and lichens are similar to the one formed by oxpeckers and zebras. This is a mutualistic relationship where both parties benefit from the association.
The relationship between the clownfish and the sea anemone is mutualistic.
Mycorrhiza form a relationship between fungi and the roots of vascular plants. This symbiotic relationship helps plants absorb nutrients from the soil and provides the fungi with carbohydrates produced by the plant through photosynthesis.
