A habitat (from the Latin for "it inhabits") is the place where a particular organism usually lives or grows. A biotope is the smallest possible geographic region of a habitat. A biome is the set of flora and fauna which live in a habitat and occupy a certain topography. A microhabitat is the immediate surroundings of a plant or animal within a habitat.


Habitat is also the name of a chain of furniture stores founded in the 1960s by Terence Conran.
