This would be mutualism, since both organisms benefit from this relationship. (the termite is able to eat the plant material, the bacteria gets to digest the fiber)

Answer: Mutualism

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which two or more than two living organisms live together and benefits each other in the best possible way.

In this scenario, termites provide shelter to the bacteria in their gut and in response bacteria produces enzymes in the gut that breakdown the food and helps in digestion.
