Explanation:
A community of organisms together with the environment in which they live. An ecosystem refers to a complex system composed of living organisms (plants, animals, microorganisms) and their physical surroundings (air, water, soil, and habitat) that interact and function as a unit. It encompasses both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components of a specific area or habitat and the interactions and relationships between them.
