The main components of an ecosystem include:

  1. Abiotic factors: These are non-living components such as soil, water, sunlight, temperature, and air.

  2. Biotic factors: These are living components such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms.

  3. Producers: Organisms that can create their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

  4. Consumers: Organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms.

  5. Decomposers: Organisms that break down dead organic matter and recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.

The main components of an ecosystem include abiotic factors (such as water, sunlight, temperature, soil), biotic factors (living organisms like plants, animals, fungi, bacteria), and the interactions among them. These components work together to create a balanced and sustainable ecosystem.
