Hello, students.

Now, in this question, they have asked with respect to organisms niche.
00:05
What does a niche mean? basically, if you observe an organism, right? let us observe any organism for that matter.
00:14
Suppose, let's say, an oak tree, right? so this oak tree, where do you observe this? oak tree is usually present in forest canopy.
00:24
Where is it present? it is present in the forest canopy.
00:28
So, if you observe, oak tree is able to live in this particular area, which means that this area is this organism's niche.
00:39
What does that mean? what does that tell you about niche rather? we will observe that if the organism is able to survive in a particular region with sufficient amount of resources, that is when you call it as a niche, right? so we will observe that it is the response to the distribution of resources.
01:06
What is it? it is the response that occurs to the distribution of the resources and the competitors.
01:18
Right.
01:19
So that is what you can talk about when you're telling about the niche.
01:23
Now let us take one more example just for the sake of it, right? so, if we observe a garden spider, where do you find it? now, garden spider requires animals that are associated with plants.
01:36
It requires insects that are close to the plants.
01:40
So where will it be present? it will be present in the garden.
01:44
Hence, the name garden spider...
