Adaptation in Plant Habitats: Exploring the Dynamic Interplay for Survival
|
- The presence of specific features or certain habits, which enable an organism to live naturally in a place is called adaptation. It differs in every plant habitat.
- Adjustment Method: Adaptation is the method by which organisms get well adjusted to the climate.
- Time Consuming: It takes a long time because the abiotic factors of a region also change very slowly.
- Survival: Only the adapted organisms survive in case of calamities or sudden changes in surroundings.
- Organisms adapt to different abiotic factors in different ways and this results in a wide variety of plant habitats and diverse organisms in different habitats.
