Morphology

interspecies = species (transparent) = inter + species

Formed by the productive prefix 'inter-' (between) added to 'species', yielding the straightforward meaning 'between species'.

Etymology

Interspecies joins inter- ('between') and species ('kind' or 'type'), like international uses inter- for 'between' countries. So interspecies means something that happens or exists 'between' different kinds of animals or plants.
