Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A niche is the role a species plays in the ecosystem. In other words, a niche is how an organism“makes a living.” A niche will include the organism’s role in the flow of energy through the ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-3: -An organism lives in its habitat within a community. The role or job of an organism within a community is its niche.

Detailed explanation-4: -A habitat is the place where an organism lives while a niche is that organism’s role within that environment. Habitat focuses on how the environment impacts the organism while nich focuses on how the organism impacts the environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -Niches are the functional roles each organism takes up in an ecosystem. An organism’s habitat and niches together dictate its position in the ecosystem’s food chain. These two concepts drive the process of adaptation and evolution, where organisms do their best to find their unique habitat-niche combination.
