Adaptation

A trait that helps an organism survive in its environment
Real World Example
Imagine trying to find the perfect pair of shoes that keep your feet comfortable and dry on a rainy day. Just like how you might search for shoes with waterproof material and good grip to prevent slipping, organisms develop traits that help them survive in their environments. In this analogy, the waterproof material and grip of the shoes are like the adaptations organisms develop, such as a duck's webbed feet for swimming or a cactus's thick skin to retain water, each ensuring they thrive in their specific conditions.
