According to Michener, DeLamater and Myers, a symbol is an arbitrary form that is used to refer to ideas, feelings, intentions or any other subject. It is arbitrary because there is nothing intrinsic in the symbol that inevitably links it to the subject it symbolizes.

There are several symbols that exist in our society that are understood by most people. When we wave, most people understand that this movement indicates a salutation (we are saying "hello"). Another example is raising a middle finger, which is considered obscene.

A symbol that I share with only one other person is a high-five in the air. I use this with my best friend, even if we are far away, when I want to show admiration or praise.

Answer:

Interspecific interaction are close interactions between species that have evolved over long periods of time. When these interactions enhance the reproduction and population growth of both species, they are called symbiosis.

Explanation:

In nature, there is a wide range of examples of mutually beneficial symbiosis - from gastric and intestinal bacteria, without which digestion would be impossible, to plants (often orchids), whose pollen can be spread by only one, a certain type of insect. Such relationships are always successful when they increase the chances of both partners to survive. The actions or substances produced during symbiosis are essential and indispensable for partners. In a generalized sense, such a symbiosis is an intermediate link between interaction and fusion.
