SYMBIOSIS is a relationship, between two (or more) different species. 
LIVING species, meaning that they are both alive. 

Symbiosis is also very often a long term relationship, and not short term. 

What that means is that we shouldn't confuse it with predation. 

Predation is where one organism attacks and feeds on another organism. 
And POOF, the prey is gone. 
Not very long term, you see?
