Here's why:
* Ecosystem: An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, etc.) in a particular area and their physical surroundings (soil, water, air, sunlight).
* Interconnectedness: The living and non-living parts of an ecosystem are interconnected. Plants provide food and shelter for animals, animals help spread seeds and fertilize the soil, and the physical environment influences how organisms survive.
* Natural Processes: Ecosystems are sustained by natural processes like photosynthesis, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and energy flow.
