two organisms deciding rent is cheaper than going it alone.
means A close, long-term biological relationship between two different species, which may benefit both, benefit one, or harm one of them.
from From Greek symbiosis, "living together," built from syn- ("together") plus bios ("life") — the same bios that powers biology and biography. It entered scientific English in the late 19th century when biologists needed a word for species cohabiting, and it has roomed with us ever since.
