I believe the answer is:

interplay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'teamwork' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'plant and page song' is the wordplay.
'plant' becomes 'inter' (to inter in the ground).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'song' becomes 'lay' (poetic term for a song).
'inter'+'p'+'lay'='INTERPLAY'

'shows' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for interplay that I've seen before include "Mutual actions" , "reciprocal action?" , "Co-operation" .)
