All the organisms in a given area, along with the abiotic factors they interact with, are collectively referred to as an ecosystem. An ecosystem includes one or more communities of living organisms and the physical environment around them. This encompasses both biotic components (plants, animals, microorganisms) and abiotic components (soil, water, air, sunlight, and climate).
In an ecosystem, organisms interact with each other and with their environment in various ways, such as through food chains, nutrient cycles, and energy flows. These interactions help maintain the balance and sustainability of the ecosystem.
