The roots of many clover plants produce structures that are filled with bacteria. The clover plants provide food and shelter for
bacteria, while the bacteria produce a nutrient that is used by plants. As a result, clover plants that have these structures on their roots grow at a faster rate and are healthier than clover plants that do not have structures.What type of relationship exists between the clover plants that have these structures on their roots and the bacteria in the structure?
The type of relationship that occurs between the clover plants and the bacterias is called mutualism.
<h3>What is Mutualism?</h3>
Mutualism is an ecological relationship between individuals of different species, in which both are benefited by the interaction. As it occurs between individuals of different species, it is a so-called interspecific relationship, and, as it benefits all those involved, it is called a harmonic relationship.
