There is a word that describes one thing is because of the other thing and vice-versa ie. the ocean is blue because the sky is blue, the sky is blue because the ocean is blue. Can anyone tell me what it is?
The word ——– means: the sky is blue because the ocean is blue, the ocean is blue because the sky is blue.

There is no English word which means what you explain. You would need to use more than one word, and there is no good phrase that fits every context you might want to use that idea in.
"Mutual" can be an adverb or an adjective describing two things having something in common. "Mutual causality" could mean one thing causes the other and vice versa, for example.
"Reciprocity" is a noun meaning when one thing does something for another thing, that thing responds in kind. The verb form is "reciprocate". If the ocean makes the sky blue precisely in reaction or response to the sky making the ocean blue, you could say the ocean is "reciprocating".
"Circular logic" is a noun phrase. It describes a bad way of thinking which ends at the same place it began. An example is, "All apples are red; therefore all apples are red." In this example, stating that "all apples are red" in the attempt to justify the statement that, "All apples are red," is silly because it doesn't offer any additional explanation. You're using the idea itself to try to explain the idea, essentially going in circles.
