Colony (biology)

Imagine you have a bunch of tiny bacteria or animals living together in a community like a village. This community is called a colony. It's like a group of tiny houses where these bacteria or animals live, eat, and grow together. They work together to survive and protect their community from harm. They can be helpful to each other by sharing resources like food and water. Sometimes, they can produce medicine or other useful substances for their colony. Just like humans living in a society, these tiny creatures can live and thrive together in their own little world called a colony.
