Question

The agouti (dasyproctaspp.), a cat-sized rodent, is the only animal with teeth strong enough to crack the hard wall of brazil nut fruits. it typically eats some of the seeds, buries others, and leaves still others behind inside the fruit, which moisturecan now enter. the uneaten seeds may subsequently germinate. consequently, which terms describe the relationship between the brazil nut tree and the agouti?

Answer 1

The answer is; mutualism

The agouti benefits from the Brazilian nut tree by getting food. On the other hand, the plant benefits from the agouti that disperses its seeds and expedites the germination by breaking the had wall of the nut. Both organisms are benefiting from their interaction.
