Definition
Describing a relationship between two different organisms or things where both benefit from living or working closely together.
Etymology
From Greek 'symbiotikos,' combining 'sym-' (together) and 'bios' (life). The term was coined by scientist Heinrich de Bary in 1879 to describe the close association of organisms like fungi and algae in lichens.
Kelly Says
Clownfish and sea anemones are the poster children for symbiosis—the clownfish is protected by the anemone's stinging tentacles while the anemone gets food scraps and protection. What's wild is that about half of all life on Earth is thought to depend on symbiotic relationships, including the mitochondria in every cell of your body!
