Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Niche is all about a single species as a part of the habitat with all its biological activities as influenced by biotic and abiotic factors. The niche of organisms could, therefore, be defined by living factors (e.g. predators, competitors, parasites, commensals, etc.) and non-living factors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biotic and abiotic factors are what make up ecosystems. Biotic factors are living things within an ecosystem; such as plants, animals, and bacteria, while abiotic are non-living components; such as water, soil and atmosphere. The way these components interact is critical in an ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biotic factors include animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and protists. Some examples of abiotic factors are water, soil, air, sunlight, temperature, and minerals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abiotic factors do not depend on biotic factors for survival Biotic factors depend on abiotic factors for survival. Changes in abiotic factors may limit the growth and development of plants and animals. In some cases, it can affect an entire ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-5: -An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water.
