The question is describing a 'symbiotic' relationship. The condition in which the two species find themselves is called 'symbiosis'. Ex. a hippopotomus has folds in its skin and bugs get into them. The oxpecker bird gets the bugs out of the folds of skin, this way, the oxpecker bird eats and the hippo stays healthy and bug-free so both sides benefit.
