16. What is the difference between a habitat and a niche? A habitat and a niche are used interchangeably, as they mean the same thing. A habitat includes an organism's food, abiotic factors, and behavior. A niche is the way a species interacts with its environment. A habitat is composed of the abiotic and biotic factors of the area in which an organism lives. A niche is the role a species takes in its ecosystem. A habitat is how a species lives; a niche is where a species lives.
