Detailed explanation-1: -It consists of populations of interacting species. Types of community interactions are predation, competition, and symbiosis. Predation is a relationship in which members of one species consume members of other species. Predation influences population sizes and co-evolution of predator and prey species.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a mutualism, two species have a long-term interaction that is beneficial to both of them (+/+ interaction). For example, some types of fungi form mutualistic associations with plant roots. The plant can photosynthesize, and it provides the fungus with fixed carbon in the form of sugars and other organic molecules.
