A symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits from the association while the other species is not harmed but does not benefit from the relationship is called:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In commensalism, one species benefits while the other is not harmed but also does not benefit. This is different from parasitism, where one species benefits at the expense of the other, and mutualism, where both species benefit from the relationship. Contamination is not a type of symbiotic relationship.
