Can you explain what a symbiotic relationship is?

A symbiotic relationship is one in which two organisms live together, each benefiting from the other. In a symbiotic relationship, one organism provides resources to the other and the other organism provides essential services or benefits to the first. For example, some species of ants live in colonies with fungus that they cultivate for food. The ants protect the fungus from predators and parasites while the fungus produces chemicals that help the ants digest their food.
