Mutualistic relationships in nature are interactions between two different species that benefit both parties involved. Some examples of mutualistic relationships include the partnership between bees and flowers, where bees collect nectar and pollinate flowers in return, and the relationship between certain species of birds and crocodiles, where birds clean the crocodile's teeth in exchange for protection. Another example is the symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots, known as mycorrhizae, where the fungi help the plant absorb nutrients while receiving sugars from the plant.
