Explanation:

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). It consists of the following essential components:

1. Habitat
2. Activity pattern of organism
3. Resource it obtains from habitat
