Detailed explanation-1: -biome, also called major life zone, the largest geographic biotic unit, a major community of plants and animals with similar life forms and environmental conditions. It includes various communities and is named for the dominant type of vegetation, such as grassland or coniferous forest.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical rainforests support the greatest diversity of living organisms on Earth. Although they cover less than 2 percent of Earth’s surface, rainforests house more than 50 percent of all plants and animals found on land.

Detailed explanation-3: -A biome is a large area characterized by its vegetation, soil, climate, and wildlife.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biome refers to the community of plants and animals that occur naturally in an area, often sharing common characteristics specific to that area. Biome, also known as a major life zone, is an area that includes communities of plants and animals that have a common adaptation to that particular environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -Typically, in ecology we classify a large area with similar flora and fauna throughout its boundaries as a biome. These biomes have a relatively similar climate and terrain throughout their “borders”. A biome is also generally a large area so they tend to be home to many, many species of similar plants and animals.
