Parasitism is better than mutualism in that parasite first of all is an organism that depends entirely on another organism for its survival and the phenomenon is called parasitism. A good example is the jigger scientifically called tunga penetrans penetrates the human foot as a flea and develops into a jigger as it feeds on the host blood. It enjoys both accommodation and food while the host is suffering from anaemia and worry.
