Interdependent mob — is city rioting? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

symbiotic

'interdependent' is the definition.

'mob is city rioting?' is the wordplay.
'rioting?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'rioting' mean this).
'mob'+'is'+'city'='mobiscity'
'mobiscity' is an anagram of 'SYMBIOTIC'.

(Another definition for symbiotic that I've seen is " Mutually beneficial".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
