organism-environment relationship

The organism-environment relationship describes how living things, like plants and animals, interact with their surroundings to survive and thrive. Organisms depend on their environment for resources such as food, water, shelter, and suitable conditions like temperature and light. In turn, they can also influence their environment through their activities, like pollinating plants or modifying habitats. This relationship is dynamic, meaning both organisms and environments continuously affect each other, maintaining a balance necessary for their mutual well-being and the health of ecosystems.
