Commensalism

IMG_2922.JPG

This is a picture of a tree and a separate plant living on the tree. This situation of the two plants is an example of commensalism. Commensalism is a type of relationship between to organisms, in which one lives with, on, or within the other without harming each other. One species may be obtaining food or someway of benefiting from the other species. The picture of the multicolored leaf plant is clearly benefiting from the tree stalk, but it is not harming it in anyway.
