Answer- The above question is from the chapter 'Nutrition in Plants'.
Nutrition: It is the process of consuming and utilizing food to obtain energy for growth and maintenance.
Symbiotic mode of nutrition: It is the mode of nutrition in which both the host and the parasite (internal or external) share shelter and nutrients to live a life together.
Example:
The most famous example of symbiotic mode of nutrition is of a lichen, an organism which has a chlorophyll containing partner alga and a fungus.
⇒ The fungus present in lichen helps in providing minerals, water and shelter to the alga.
⇒ The alga uses the things provided by fungus and has chlorophyll in itself which helps in the process of photosynthesis.
This mode of nutrition is very helpful for both organisms.
