Niche

Real World Example

Imagine you're organizing a large family dinner, and everyone has a specific dish they need to bring for the meal to be complete. Just like each person has a role in making the dinner successful, every animal or plant in its habitat has a specific role that contributes to the ecosystem's balance. In this analogy, each family member bringing their assigned dish represents an animal or plant fulfilling its ecological niche, ensuring the whole environment thrives just as the dinner does when everyone contributes.
