Commensalism


Definition: a type of relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits the relationship and the other is not affected. 

Connection: Moss growing on a tree is a good example of commensalism. By growing on the tree the moss escape the clutter of leaves on the ground floor that block its source of light; and although the moss is growing on the tree it doesn't harm or benefit the tree at all.
