When organisms compete for biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors in an ecosystem, it is referred to as interspecific competition if it occurs between different species, or intraspecific competition if it occurs within the same species. This competition can involve resources such as food, water, light, and space, which are essential for survival and reproduction. Such interactions can shape community structure and influence the evolution of species over time.
