An ecosystem is like a big community where living things, like plants and animals, all work together. Think of a forest with plants, trees, birds, bugs, and many other creatures. They all help each other in some way.

A biome is like a special type of ecosystem. It’s a large area on Earth with similar plants, animals, and weather patterns. For example, a rainforest is a biome with lots of trees, monkeys, and colorful parrots.
