At first we have to understand the concept of environment because within an environment only we get the concept of ecology and ecosystem. 1. Environment :- The term environment etymologically means surroundings, provided by the natural world in which people, plants, and animals live. Thus, environment is a complex of so many things (light, temperature, soil, water etc.) which surround an organism.
