Plants and animals interact in various symbiotic relationships where both species benefit from each other. One common example is mutualism, where both the plant and animal benefit from the relationship. For instance, in the case of pollination, bees visit flowers to collect nectar for food while unintentionally transferring pollen, which helps in the reproduction of plants. Another example is the relationship between certain plants and animals, such as ants and acacia trees, where the ants protect the tree from herbivores in exchange for food and shelter. These interactions showcase the interconnectedness and mutual dependence of plants and animals in their ecosystems.
