An ecosystem is a community of living things, like plants and animals, that interact with each other and their environment. In an ecosystem, everything works together like a team. For example, in a forest ecosystem, trees provide shade and food for animals, while animals help spread seeds and pollinate flowers. Each part of the ecosystem helps the others survive, creating a balance that keeps the environment healthy.
