Solution
Predation:
Predation is a relationship between two organisms in which one organism hunts and kills the other for food.
The organism which hunts is called the predator and the other organism which is killed for food is called the prey.
Some common examples of predation are a lion hunting, killing and eating a deer, a snake swallowing a frog and a polar bear killing and eating a seal.
