Niche

Real World Example

Imagine you're organizing a community event, and each person has a specific role to ensure the event runs smoothly—someone handles decorations, another manages food, and someone else welcomes guests. Similarly, in a habitat, every animal or plant has a unique role or 'niche' that contributes to the ecosystem's overall health and balance. Just like how the event would fall apart if someone neglected their task, an ecosystem can become unbalanced if an organism doesn't fulfill its niche, leading to a ripple effect that impacts other species and the environment.
