The term for the space where ecological interactions occur is known as a habitat. A habitat provides the necessary conditions for living organisms to thrive, including food, shelter, and mates for reproduction. It encompasses various types of environments, such as forests, wetlands, grasslands, and deserts. Different species have evolved adaptations suited to their specific habitats, influencing their survival and reproduction. Protecting habitats is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance in the face of habitat destruction and climate change.
