The interaction you are describing is called commensalism.
Explanation:
- Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms.
- In this interaction, one organism benefits (is helped).
- The other organism is neither helped nor harmed.
Example:
- Barnacles attaching to a whale: Barnacles get transportation and access to food particles, while the whale is unaffected.
If you want, I can provide more examples or details about different types of symbiotic relationships!
