This occurs in the phase of early development when a child is completely dependent , and both physically and emotionally closely bonded with their mother . [ 1 ]
The definition of symbiosis was a matter of debate for 130 years. [7] In 1877, Albert Bernhard Frank used the term symbiosis to describe the mutualistic relationship in lichens .

The six possible types of symbiotic relationship, from mutual benefit to mutual harm. The six possible types of symbiosis are mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, neutralism, amensalism, and competition. [16] These are distinguished by the degree of benefit or harm they cause to each partner. [17]
This counts for the situation between mother and child and later for following relationships.

Symbiotic relationships generally fall into the categories of mutualism, commensalism, parasitism/predation, amensalism, or competition, although other categorizations may be used to describe more complex or uncommon interactions. The relationship between clownfish and anemones is one example of a mutualistic symbiosis. [10]
