An ecosystem is a community of living things that interact with each other and with their non-living environment, including air, water, soil, and sunlight. It's a system where living and non-living things work together to keep life going. Examples of ecosystems include a pond, a forest, or an ocean, where every plant, animal, and element relies on the others to survive.
