Explanation:

In experiments two variables are necessary to derive the cause of one factor over the other. These are the independent and dependent variables. The independent variable can be altered, manipulated and changed in an experimental study. The affect of such manipulation is observed on other variable that is dependent variable. The dependent variable when changes such a change can be recorded to derive the outcome of the experiment.

its going to be mutualism cuz they both benefit from the relationship.
