About Habitats in Missouri

A habitat is the type of environment where an organism lives and grows. There are both land and aquatic habitats, and each kind of habitat has its own combination of characteristics based on rock and soil types, amounts of rainfall and moisture, sunlight and shade, and even historic and current use by people. It's a complex topic, but it's worth learning about if you want to understand plants and animals.
