ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Interdependence

Interdependence means that different people and things rely on each other. For example, if your family had a farm, they might need your help to collect eggs from the chickens or feed the cows. They can’t do it all by themselves, so they need your help. This reliance on each other is called interdependence. Everyone in the family is dependent on each other to get the work done. So, by working together, they can make sure the farm runs smoothly.
