extremophile habitats

Extremophile habitats are environments where life survives under extreme conditions that would be hostile or deadly to most organisms. These habitats include places like boiling hot springs, highly acidic or alkaline waters, deep-sea vents with intense pressure and heat, and icy Arctic or Antarctic regions. Organisms called extremophiles have adapted unique features that allow them to thrive in such harsh settings. Studying these habitats helps scientists understand life's resilience and potential existence on other planets with extreme environments. These habitats are essential for discovering new biological processes and have potential applications in biotechnology.
