विकल्प

• Commensalism

• Mutualism

• Predation

• Amensalism

Answer 1

Commensalism

Explanation:

An interaction known as commensalism occurs when one organism gains while the other is neither hurt nor benefited. Plants that grow on other plants (such as a mango tree) for structural support but do not obtain nutrients from them are known as epiphytes. They take in nutrients and moisture from the surrounding trash, rain, and atmosphere. The mango tree, the host, remains unaffected. It is therefore an illustration of commensalism.
