Range (biology)

Range in biology means the area where a specific type of plant or animal is found. Think of it like a home for plants and animals. Each species has a different range, just like how you and your friends might live in different houses or apartments. The range for a plant or animal can depend on things like the climate, the food they need to survive, and the other animals or plants they interact with. So, just like how some of your friends might have different favorite foods or hobbies, different plants and animals have different ranges where they can live and thrive.
