A dodder plant wraps itself around the stem of a clover plant, seriously damaging the clover. Small root-like structures from the dodder allow it to gain nutrients and water from the clover. Which type of relationship does this represent?

Answer:

Parasitism

Step-by-step explanation:

Parasitism benefits one organism, while harming the other. In this example, the dodder plant receives the benefit, and the clover is harmed.

Hope this Helps!!!
