A common example of this type of relationship is commensalism, where one organism benefits from the association while the other remains unaffected. An example is the relationship between barnacles and whales, where barnacles attach themselves to whales to gain a stable surface for attachment, while the whales are not affected.
When both organisms benefit, it is called mutualism. If one benefits and the other is not harmed, it is called commensalism.
A symbiotic organism can benefit or be harmed in a relationship depending on the nature of the interaction. For example, in a mutualistic relationship, both organisms benefit, while in a parasitic relationship, one organism benefits at the expense of the other.
Actually, a symbiotic relationship in which both parties benefit is called mutualism, not commensalism. In mutualism, both organisms benefit from the interaction, while in commensalism, one benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
Neutralism - this refers to the relationship where neither organism extracts benefit but neither are they harmed by co-existing
This is called a symbiotic relationship.
