Explanation:

Community - An aggregation of populations of different species living together (in inter dependence) in a specific area, having a specific set of environmental conditions constitute a biotic community. Examples of major communities are: a pond, a lake, a forest, a desert, a meadow and grassland. Each of these major communities includes several minor communities.
