The term for the ability of an organism to adapt to its environment is phenotypic plasticity or adaptation. This capability allows organisms to flexibly respond to environmental changes, enhancing their survival and reproductive success. Adaptations may be structural, behavioral, or physiological, enabling organisms to exploit resources, evade predators, or cope with harsh conditions. Understanding these adaptations provides insights into evolutionary processes and how species may respond to climate change and other ecological pressures over time, highlighting the importance of genetic diversity in a population.
