Fitness

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find the perfect outfit for both comfort and style at a party. Just like selecting clothes that help you feel confident and comfortable in that specific setting, an organism's fitness is about having the traits that allow it to thrive and reproduce in its particular environment. In both cases, the key is about having the right 'fit'—whether it's the right fabric and style for a social event or the right adaptations to survive in a given habitat, both are about optimizing for success in a specific context.
