Expert Solution
Step 1

A biome is a large community of plants and animals that occupy a specific geographic region and have adapted to the environmental conditions of that region, such as temperature, rainfall, and soil type. Biomes are characterized by their distinct vegetation types, and can be classified into major categories based on the climate and dominant vegetation, such as tropical rainforest, savanna, desert, tundra, temperate grasslands, temperate deciduous forests, boreal forests, and aquatic biomes such as freshwater and marine. Biomes play a critical role in regulating the Earth's climate and supporting biodiversity by providing habitats for numerous plant and animal species.
