What is the difference between habitat and ecosystem?

Hint: Organism and environment are dynamic and interdependent. The term environment includes everything i.e biotic as well as abiotic factors, all these factors influence the environment.

Complete answer:
The ecosystem mainly consists of biotic as well as abiotic factors. In the abiotic components, there are various physical and chemical factors. The physical factors having the greatest effect on the ecosystem are light, temperature, precipitation, air, and water. The chemical factor includes pH, salinity, nutrient content. The organism that makes up the biotic component of an ecosystem are usually classified as autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs can make their own food whereas heterotrophs depend on others. Habitat is the place where an organism resides. Habitat is of different types such as terrestrial habitat, marine habitat, Estuarine habitat, freshwater habitat.



Note: Niche was used the first time by Grinnell and is frequently misunderstood and misused. It generally describes the sort of place in which an organism resides. Strictly, however, the place in which a particular organism lives is its habitat whereas niche represents the place where members of species live.
