How is a hummingbird getting nectar from a flower an example of mutualism?

Mutualism is when both sides benefit. The hummingbird gets nectar and the flower is benefited because the hummingbird that has been to other flowers carry pollen on its body which spread the flower when it sucks its nectar, therefore pollinating the flower in the process.
