Human: I'm trying to find out what a symbiotic relationship is. Assistant: 
A symbiotic relationship is one in which two organisms benefit from each other's existence, and the term derives from the Greek word symbiosis, meaning "living together". In a symbiotic relationship, one organism provides nutrients or protection for another organism, allowing it to survive and thrive. For example, a fungus may provide shelter for an insect, or a plant may provide food for an animal.
