Observations of commensalism of plants may simply be the result of difficulties in identifying effects of the interaction on the "0" species (i.e. the species assumed to be unaffected). As in neutralism, one can not assert positively that there is no competition or benefit to either plant species.
There are many examples of commensalism in a river. One example is a frog sitting on a lily pad because the frog can rest and eat on it without hurting it.
Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. For the most part, moths have a mutualistic relationship with their environment. An example would be moths laying their eggs inside of a flower - the flower has a chance to spread its pollen to other flowers and reproduce in that way, and the moth gets to lay its eggs. This is, however, on a case by case scenario, and the yucca baccata (a type of plant also known as the Spanish Dagger) "cheats" and allows the yucca moth larvae to die after pollination.
The different populations in a community can interact in different kinds of relations with each other. Example include symbiosis, parasitism, commensalism, etc.
A real life example is the chloroplasts found in plant cells.
The dependent variable is what changes. For example, if you are growing a plant, the growth of the plant depends on the amount of light it is given. The growth of the plant is the dependent variable.

Plants
Mutualism, Commensalism, and Parasitism.
commensalism is important to any what kind
A bird living on the top of a hippo, or a bird living in a cactus is an example of commensalism...:D
The interdependence of worms and plants is a classic example of commensalism because worms benefit from their relationship with plants without harming them. As worms burrow through the soil, they aerate it and enhance its nutrient content, promoting better plant growth. While plants gain improved access to nutrients and water, the worms thrive in the organic matter from decaying plant roots and other debris. This mutual enhancement occurs without any negative impact on the plants, exemplifying commensalism.
ferns or orchids
no, because leech is an example of an ectoparasite
Humans getting milk from cows would be an example of commensalism. Commensalism describes a relationship that exists between two organisms in which one organism benefits without harming the other organism.
