Mutualism

Real World Example

Imagine you and your neighbor both have gardens but face different challenges: you have too many seeds but not enough space, while your neighbor has ample space but no seeds. This situation is similar to mutualism, where both parties gain something they lack by working together. Just like how you trade your excess seeds for some of your neighbor's garden space, benefiting both, mutualism in nature involves two species exchanging resources or services that help each other thrive, such as bees pollinating flowers in exchange for nectar.
