Ecology

The word ECOLOGY comes from Greek words meaning “study of the household.” That means that ecology is the study of the “household” of living things: their neighbors and neighborhood. 

Ecology includes not only how living things interact with each other, but how they interact with their physical environment: things such as climate, water, and soil.
