Commensalism is a type of symbiosis, A biological relationship in which one species benefits from an interaction, While the host species is neither positively or negatively affected to any tangible.

Commensalism is where two species interact cooperatively. One species prospers from the relationship while it is of no consequence to the other. A good example is the way moss grows on a tree. The moss benefits from all of the nourishment provided by the tree, while the tree itself remains unaffected by its presence.
