उत्तर
Sometimes, ants take their shelter on some trees such as Mango, Litchi, Jamun, and Acacia, etc. These ants act as body guards of the plants against any disturbing agent and the plants, in turn, provide food and shelter to these ants. This phenomenon is known as Myrmecophily. Example: Acacia and its ants.
