Adaptation
Adaptation explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're trying to stay cool during a sweltering summer day without air conditioning. Just like using a fan or wearing light clothing helps you cope with the heat, a trait that helps an organism survive in its environment acts as a natural solution to its challenges. In this analogy, the fan or light clothing represents the adaptation, which, like the trait in an organism, provides a way to handle the specific conditions of a hot day, enabling better survival and comfort in that environment.
