Story Excerpt
A habitat is the place where a living thing makes its home. It's where an animal or plant finds everything it needs to live and grow. Every living thing needs certain things to survive. Animals need food to eat, water to drink, and a safe place to rest or hide. Plants need sunlight, water, and soil to grow in. A habitat gives all these things. Different animals live in different habitats because they need different things. A fish lives in water because that's where it can breathe and find food.
