<human>: I'd like to learn more about the symbiotic relationship between ants and plants.
<bot>: Symbiosis is a close, long-term interaction between two different species that benefits both partners. Ants are very social insects that live in colonies with specialized roles for each member. They have developed a complex communication system and can form superorganisms with other species such as aphids and termites. Plants rely on ants to help them defend themselves from predators and pests, while ants benefit from the food resources provided by plants. This mutually beneficial relationship has been going on for millions of years, and it's still ongoing today!
