commensalism

parasitism
Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. Remoras benefit by getting food scraps from the shark's meals, while the shark is unaffected. In mutualism, both organisms benefit; in predation, one organism hunts and eats the other; in parasitism, one organism (parasite) benefits at the expense of the other (host).
