Word origin
The term 'symbiosis' was coined by the German mycologist Heinrich Anton de Bary in 1879 to describe the close interactions between different organisms. The concept has since been widely used in biology and sociology to describe mutually beneficial relationships. The study of symbiosis has contributed greatly to our understanding of how different species coexist and thrive together.
