Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Octastrophic

👉 In ecology, "octastrophic" refers to a type of ecosystem where plants and animals are interdependent on each other. This is because they both require nutrients from the same source. For example, a plant may have a symbiotic relationship with algae (a type of bacteria) that helps it grow by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Similarly, an animal like a fish may depend on its prey for survival.
