Solution

A form of symbiosis in which one participant benefits and the other apparently is not benefited or harmed is commensalism.

Explanation:

Commensalism is a form of symbiosis where one participant benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. This distinguishes it from parasitism (where one benefits and the other is harmed), mutualism (both benefit), and coevolution (a reciprocal evolutionary influence).
