Cách sử dụng
Commensal is a word used to describe a relationship between two different types of living things where one benefits and the other is not harmed or helped. For example, a bird building a nest in a tree is commensal because the bird benefits by having a safe place to live, but the tree is not directly affected. Commensal can also refer to microorganisms that live on or in our bodies without causing harm, such as the bacteria in our digestive system that help us digest food.
