The term for the biological community of organisms interacting with their environment is referred to as an ecosystem. Ecosystems consist of both biotic (living) components, like plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as abiotic (non-living) elements, such as soil, water, and climate. The interactions among these components create complex relationships that sustain life and drive ecological processes. Understanding ecosystems is crucial for conservation efforts, biodiversity assessments, and sustainable resource management, as they provide vital services, such as nutrient cycling and habitat support.
