A mutualistic relationship is established between two organisms of different species that work together or live together and each is getting benefitted from the relationship. This is the example of the relationship between the plant and pollinator, Fig depends on wasp for pollination, and wasp depends on fig for obtaining food and shelter. With the decline in population of figs, wasp loses its source of food and shelter while if wasp is declined the fig will not get pollinated.
