A habitat encompasses all the living and nonliving factors that an organism needs to survive and thrive. This includes things like:

* Food sources: What the organism eats.

* Water: Access to clean water for drinking and other needs.

* Shelter: Protection from predators and the elements.

* Temperature: A suitable temperature range for the organism's survival.

* Sunlight: The amount of sunlight needed for photosynthesis or other processes.

* Soil: The type of soil that the organism needs for growth and development.

Think of it as the organism's home address!
