Cooperation plays a vital role in ecosystems as it enables species to interact and work together for mutual benefits. This can be observed in various forms, such as mutualism, where different species support each other’s survival, or through food webs, where energy is transferred between organisms. Cooperative behaviors can enhance resource acquisition, improve protection against predators, and increase reproductive success. By fostering interconnectedness, cooperation ensures stable ecosystem functioning and promotes biodiversity, contributing to the resilience of habitats against environmental changes.
