Explain ammensalism?..

Answer / Kamlesh Kumar Verma

Ammensalism is a type of interspecific interaction in which one organism's presence causes a deterioration in the other organism's ability to survive or reproduce, but it does not result in the death of the latter. An example is when one organism produces chemicals that inhibit the growth of another organism, without affecting its own growth.
