The term Mutualism, when referring to organisms and animals, is when both organisms benefit from each other. For example, certain fish feed off of a larger fish. This provides nnutrition for one fish, while the other gets a bath. Also, cows will benefit from certain types of bacteria, they benefit from the cellulose they produce, and the bacteria benefit from having nutrients in the host environment. I hope that helps!
