All organisms in nature interact with other organisms in different ways. Symbiotic interactions involve a relationship between two or more organisms of different species in which one or all of them turn to be beneficiated by that relationship. These species create permanent mutual dependence.

Symbiotic interactions include:

Mutualism: The interaction is favorable for both species. Their fitness increases with these interactions, although they do not need this relationship to survive. The degree of benefits might vary among species or might be equal.

Commensalism: In this case, the fitness of only one of the species seems to increase, while the other species is not affected at all, nor positively or negatively. The unaffected species might provide food or refuge to the other species, which is beneficiated.
Parasitism: In this case, one of the species is beneficiated, while the other suffers a consequence, reducing its fitness. These interactions are mostly about nutrition, although there might be other benefits too. Some parasite species might coexist with their host, while some other might get them ill to the point of causing death.
