Detailed explanation-1: -A community is all of the populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another. A community is composed of all of the biotic factors of an area. An ecosystem includes the living organisms (all the populations) in an area and the non-living aspects of the environment (Figure below).

Detailed explanation-2: -A community includes all the populations of the area. The community and the abiotic factors make up the ecosystem. An organism lives in its habitat within a community.

Detailed explanation-3: -An ecological community is defined as a group of species that are commonly found together. Ecological communities may be animal or plant assemblages with similar habitat requirements and contain species which may influence each other or rely on similar processes in their environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -In ecology, the term “niche” describes the role an organism plays in a community. A species’ niche encompasses both the physical and environmental conditions it requires (like temperature or terrain) and the interactions it has with other species (like predation or competition).

Detailed explanation-5: -Individuals make up a population; populations make up a species; multiple species and their interactions make up a community; and multiple species and their interactions make up ecosystems when you include the abiotic factors.
