Explanation:

An ecosystem is an interaction between the living and nonliving components in a specific area. The living components are the biotic factors and examples of these factors are the organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. On the other hand, nonliving components are the abiotic factors and examples are temperature, soil, salinity, and humidity. Every factor in an ecosystem affects directly or indirectly other factors. Thus, the interaction of living and nonliving is essential.

Ecosystems can be very large or very small. Examples of ecosystems are rainforest, grassland, mangrove, or estuary. The biosphere is made up of interconnected ecosystems.
