they have a symbiotic relationship with one another referred to as mutualism
Explanation:
A relationship in which both parties mutually benefit is one of three broad classes of symbiosis.
when one party benefits and the other is harmed to varying degrees we call this type of relationship parasitism
When one party benefits and the other is indifferent, we call this relationship commensalism - it should be noted that some would argue that this class doesn't really exist, at some level there will either be a benefit or detriment to the relationship for the indifferent party.
