Symbiosis plays a critical role in biodiversity by fostering relationships between different species that can enhance nutrient cycling, provide habitat, and improve species resilience. Such interactions, whether mutualistic, commensal, or parasitic, contribute to the overall stability and productivity of ecosystems. Through co-evolution, species adapt to one another's needs, which can lead to an increase in the variety of life forms present in a given habitat. Therefore, understanding symbiotic relationships is vital for ecological research and conservation strategies.
