Commensalism
The relationship is called commensalism. In this type of relationship, one organism benefits from the association while the other is neither harmed nor benefited. For example, barnacles attaching themselves to a whale for transportation.
While commensalism is a concept more commonly found in scientific literature than poetry, there may be poets who use it as a theme or metaphor in their work. However, specific poems explicitly about commensalism may not be widely known.
An example of commensalism in humans is the relationship between the bacteria in our gut and our own bodies. The bacteria benefit from living in our gut and aiding in digestion, while we are not significantly affected by their presence.
An easy way I remember commensalism is by the word communism or the idea of it. The idea of communism is the idea where everything is equal and everybody benefits equally as well. In commensalism both organisms benefit and it is a mutual relationship where both benefit equally and no harm is done.

Squirrels and trees are examples of commensalism in the deciduous forest. The trees, which are not harmed, provide the squirrels with shelter and protection.

There are many examples of commensalism in a river. One example is a frog sitting on a lily pad because the frog can rest and eat on it without hurting it.

There are several examples of commensalism in lakes. Some examples include pondweed providing shelter to many species of fish, but is not affected by the fish's presence. Algae finds a home on many turtle shells, without any effect on the turtle. Crawdads feed off of many dead organisms, and since they are already dead, it does not affect the organism.
