Vita (Life)

Vita, meaning "life" in Latin, refers to the essential force or energy that sustains living organisms. It encompasses the vital processes such as growth, reproduction, metabolism, and adaptation that differentiate living beings from non-living matter. While often associated with vitality or health, in a broader sense, vita captures the dynamic and continuous nature of life's activities, underlying the organism's capacity to survive, evolve, and respond to its environment. Understanding vita helps us appreciate the fundamental qualities that define living systems and their interconnectedness within ecosystems.
