What is an example of mutualism in the rain forest?

In: Animal Life

[Edit]

Answer

Ants share a mutualistic relationship with plants/trees .
The ants eat the plant/tree which benefits the ants. In turn, the ants protect the plant/tree from other predators (herbivores).

this is wrong plant/tree is harmed by the ant so why would you say that ant and tree is a mutualism,whats the meaning of mutualism?.

mutualism-one is benifited while the other one is not affected,harmed or benifited

Actually, mutualism means both organisms are benifited, not just one
