Original Answer: Phoresi refers to the relationship that animals use another kind of species to transport themselves without causing any injury to this kind of species. Take the mite as an example, they feed on a kind of flower which falls off very quickly. So they eat the nectar from the flower but they have to transport themselves to another flower. However, they cannot fly so it might be hard to climb from a flower to another flower for the mite. And there is a kind of bird called hummingbird which eats the same flower of the mite. And when they get nectar, the mite may come to this bird and because they are tiny, it won't cause any harm to the hummingbird. And the hummingbird takes care of them with their flowers.
