Most living things don’t have it as easy as our pets and houseplants. In the wild, organisms have to find what they need in their ecosystem. That’s a group of living things interacting with one another and their environment. Each organism needs a habitat with the right conditions for its species. Thousands of species can live in one ecosystem.
