The term used to describe the quality of the environment in which organisms live is habitat. Habitat encompasses various factors, including food availability, water sources, shelter, and environmental conditions. Different species require specific habitat types to thrive, and the structure of a habitat can support or limit biodiversity. A healthy habitat facilitates the survival and reproduction of species, playing a crucial role in the overall functioning of an ecosystem. Conservation efforts often focus on preserving and restoring habitats to maintain ecological balance and diversity.
