Frodo and Sam are simbionts(is that how you spell it?). Neither one of them could have succeeded without the other. I don't think Sam could have carried the Ring all the way without him claiming it for himself a lot sooner. Frodo needed Sam, for phyisical and mental reasons. Without Sam he couldn't have escapes from from Cirith Ungol, and without Sam he wouldn't have had the encouragment to go on.
