Habitat is defined as a localized environment in which an organism lives and which provides for all or almost all of its needs. 

The term food pyramid is used to describe the quantities of materials that pass from one kind of eater to another. The word pyramid is used because the amount of energy associated with the food material becomes smaller at every link or upward step.

All food chains begin with green plants because they are the only living things that can produce their own food. Green plants produce food by the process of photosynthesis.

The gradual but continuous change in a community is called ecological succession. If one community disappears, a different kind of community develops in place of the old one. 

Animals living in trees are called arboreal such as monkey.

Plants that grow on other plants using them only for support are called epiphytes. They have no roots in the soil. Epiphytes do not parasitize the plants they grow on.
