Explanation:
A habitat defines the interaction of organisms with the other factors, which can be living or non-living, while niche describes how that specific organism is linked with its physical and biological environment. Habitat is the part of the ecosystem, while niche plays an important role in the formation of an ecosystem.
For example, a garden spider is a predator that hunts for prey among plants, while an oak tree grows to dominate a forest canopy, turning sunlight into food. The role that a species plays is called its ecological niche. A niche includes more than what an organism eats or where it lives.
The terrestrial vegetation type may be forest, steppe, grassland, semi-arid or desert. Fresh water habitats include marshes, streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds, and marine habitats include salt marshes, the coast, the intertidal zone, estuaries, reefs, bays, the open sea, the sea bed, deep water and submarine vents.
