Detailed explanation-1: -Parasitism – where one species benefits by harming the other.
Detailed explanation-2: -Parasitism refers to the relationship where one organism benefits from the interaction and the other is harmed. Commensalism is when one organism benefits and the other is left unharmed, and mutualism is when both organisms benefit from the interaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Commensalism is an interaction in which one individual benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. For example, orchids (examples of epiphytes) found in tropical rainforests grow on the branches of trees in order to access light, but the presence of the orchids does not affect the trees (Figure 7).
Detailed explanation-4: -Commensalism is a type of interaction among two organisms where one organism is benefited whereas other remains unaffected (neither harmed nor benefited).
