Lab: Interdependence of Organisms

Question 17 • CA-Life Science B (High School)

Why is the interdependence of the worms and plants an example of commensalism?

Answer

Answer:

Commensalism is a relationship where one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. In this relationship, the plants benefit from the presence of the worms (for example, through soil aeration), while the worms are not significantly affected, neither benefiting nor being harmed by the plant's growth.
