It is symbiosis, but also called a commensalism relationship because the remora is getting its food and the shark has no benefit.

A remora is a fish that has an adhesive disk on the back of its head that it uses to attach itself to a large shark. When food floats away from the shark’s mouth as it feeds, the remora collects the scraps.
