    There are several types of ecological relationships that exist between organisms in an ecosystem. These include symbiotic relationships like mutualism where both species benefit each other, commensalism where one benefits without harming the other, and parasitism where one harms the host. Other relationships include competition between members of the same or different species for limited resources, and predation where a predator kills prey as a food source.
