If you have intestines, a pet dog or eyebrows, you are in a symbiotic relationship. Originating in biology, the term symbiosis comes from the Greek “syn” meaning “together” and “vios” meaning “life.” It was coined by botanist Anton de Bary in 1870 to describe his discovery that fungi-dwelling algae produce a composite organism, lichen. “Symbiotic” now describes any partnership developed through close proximity in order to ensure food, shelter and ultimately survival.
