The biology class studied mutualism when discussing the social well-being of different organisms.

In biology, mutualism is the relationship between two species where each individual benefits. A common example of mutualism is the relationship between a bee and a flower. The flower relies on the bee for pollination, while the bee uses the flower's nectar to make food.

Mutualism can be modeled using equations, and the outcome of mutualism depends upon whether the mutualism is facultative or obligate.

I thought it was because it helps both the predator and the prey survive longer in their habitat, but I just had a multiple choice biology test where it asked for an example of Mutualism, and I chose cryptic coloration, but he was looking for another choice which was coral and algae. So I guess not?
