The term used for an organism living in or on another depends on the nature of the relationship.
- If the relationship is mutually beneficial (mutalism) then the organism can be called a symbiont.
- If the relationship does not benefit the host, the organism can be called a parasite.
Parasites can be endoparasites, which live inside the host, or ectoparasites, which live on the host.
Some biologists use the term symbiont for any organism in a close interaction with another. This would mean parasites could also be called symbionts.
