Detailed explanation-1: -commensalism, in biology, a relationship between individuals of two species in which one species obtains food or other benefits from the other without either harming or benefiting the latter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Commensalism is when two organisms share the same environment, where one benefits and the other is unharmed. Trees and birds have a commensalistic relationship; the birds benefit from having a place to build their nests, while the trees are unharmed and not impacted by the bird’s presence.
