Question

Termites are unable to digest some plant materials (fiber). Termite stomachs contain bacteria that digest the fiber in wood. Which type of relationship does this describe?

Answer 1

Answer: Endosymbiotic relationship (Is what I believe at least,)

Explanation: The termites are unable to digest cellulosic composition of wood. The bacterium does it for them, and in return, they receive shelter and nutrients from the termite. This mutual benefit indicates symbiosis.

It maybe called 'endosymbiosis' as the bacterium is associated with the termite, that is, the symbionts benefit each other by the presence of one INSIDE the other. Hope this helps, but please check it up with another source to make sure.
