In an association of two animal species, one is a termite which feeds on wood and the other is a protozoan Trichonympha present in the gut of the termite. What type of association they establish?
They show mutualism interaction because termite provides space for the protozoan Trichonympha to live and Protozoa digest the wood, which termite feeds on. In the absence of Trichonympha, the termite is unable to digest wood and hence dies. They both shows the interaction towards each other. Those species which shows positive interaction towards each other that type of interaction is known as Mutualism. Or, we can say that it is a symbiotic relationship between the members of two different species in which both the members get benefitted.
