31 - What is an ecosystem?

An ecosystem is like a big team that works together. It's made up of all living things (plants, animals, and tiny microorganisms) that live in a specific place, like a forest, desert, or ocean. They all rely on each other for survival and help keep the environment healthy.

Think of it like a big circle: plants make food, animals eat the plants, and tiny creatures help break down waste. Everything is connected and helps each other out.
