interdependence and symbiosis

Interdependence refers to the mutual reliance and interconnectedness between two or more entities, where each entity depends on the others for their survival, well-being, or functioning. It implies that the involved parties cannot exist or thrive independently but instead rely on shared resources or support from each other. Symbiosis is a specific type of interdependence that describes a close and long-term interaction between two different species, where both species benefit from their relationship. This mutually beneficial interaction can involve various forms, such as one organism providing nutrients or protection to the other, or both organisms cooperating for survival or reproduction. Symbiosis highlights the interdependent nature of living organisms and how they can form mutually advantageous partnerships.
