A habitat is the place where living things live and includes the surrounding area that provides food and shelter. Animals and plants are specially adapted to survive in their particular habitat through features like camouflage, streamlined bodies, or physical attributes for hot or cold climates. Even plants have adapted traits such as cacti storing water or dandelion seeds dispersing easily. Habitats involve interdependence as plants and animals rely on each other for food, nesting, shelter, and other needs.
