An organism is an individual living being, whether a plant, an animal, or a human being. It is composed of different systems and organs that work together to sustain life and carry out vital functions.
Organisms have the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to environmental stimuli, and adapt to changes. Each organism has its own characteristics and needs, depending on its environment to obtain food, water, and energy.
Organisms can vary in size, shape, and complexity, but they all share the fundamental characteristic of being alive.
