Answer 1

The symbiotic relationship described is parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense of the other

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbiotic relationship described in the question is parasitism. In parasitism, one organism (the parasite) benefits at the expense of the other organism (the host).

In this case, the worm is living inside the cow and stealing nutrients, which causes the cow to become malnourished. The worm benefits from the nutrients it steals, while the cow is harmed.

Examples of parasitic relationships include fleas on dogs, ticks on humans, and tapeworms in animals.
