Termites are unable to digest some plant materials (fiber). Termite stomachs contain bacteria that digest the fiber in wood for the termites. In turn, the bacteria are provided with a hospitable environment to carry out their life processes.

Answer: The question is not complete, the completed part is which type of relationship is it.

MUTUALISM

Step-by-step explanation:

MUTUALISM is a symbiotic relationship that exist between organisms in which both the organism benefit from the relationship and there is not loss.

It is MUTUALISM because, the termite benefited from the relationship because the bacteria help it to digest and break cellulose for easy absorption and the bacteria benefited by obtaining accomodation and feeding on the left over of termites.

The two organisms actually benefited from each other.
