Mutualism

Real World Example

Think about when you and your friend team up to move a heavy couch; it's a task that’s challenging for one person but manageable together. This situation is similar to mutualism, where two species work together for mutual benefit, just like you and your friend both gain from successfully moving the couch. In this analogy, you and your friend represent the two species, and the heavy couch represents a challenge that is easier to overcome with cooperation, illustrating how mutualism allows both parties to benefit from the relationship.
