A habitat is the natural environment where an organism lives. It includes all aspects such as climate, food sources, predators, and other species interactions.
Consider your home as your habitat - it has everything you need; food (kitchen), shelter (bedroom), interaction (family members), etc., just like how habitats provide organisms with their necessities.
Ecosystem: An interconnected system where living organisms interact with each other and their physical environment.
Biotic Factors: These are living components within an organism's environment such as other animals, plants, fungi, bacteria etc.
Abiotic Factors: These are non-living components within an organism's environment such as sunlight, temperature, wind patterns etc.
