Solution

The place where an organism lives, or The place where one would go to find the particular organism is known as the habitat of that organism. In fact, the habitat of an organism represents a particular set of environmental conditions suitable for its successful growth. On the other hand, the niche is a complete description of how the organism relates to its physical and biological environment. Thus niche includes not only the physical space occupied by-an organism but also its functional roles in the community.
