Predation is a relation between two organisms in which one organism captures and feds on other. For example Cactus and moth.

Commensalism is a relation between two organisms in which one benefits and the other neither derives benefit nor harms. For example Orchid and mango.

Parasitism is a relation between organisms in which one lives as a parasite on another and harms the host. For example Cuscuta and hedge plants.

Competition is process in which the fitness and survival ability of one species is significantly lower in the presence of another species. For example Balanus and Chathamalus.
