What is the symbiotic relationship between a flowering plant and an insect?

The ants squeeze the aphids to extract a sweet tasting liquid and in return, that ants protect the aphids. I do not believe the foregoing statement. I wonder whether the person who wrote it has ever seen anything of the kind happening. I have seen ants eating aphids, cutting them up and carrying them away, and I have seen ants stroking aphids with their antennae, which seemed to stimulate the aphids into giving up honeydew. However, I may have misinterpreted that stroking; possibly touching the aphid with the antenna was just to see whether there was any honeydew to pick up, and the aphid might have been about to produce honeydew anyway. In any case, there certainly is a symbiotic (more precisely, mutualistic) relationship between many kinds of ants and many kinds of aphids. Generally speaking it takes the form of ants protecting aphids and removing their (unwanted) honeydew for their own purposes.
