A biome refers to a group of animals and plants possessing similar character for the surrounding they live in. They can be originating over a variety of continents. Biomes are considered as dissimilar biological groups that have originated in response of a mutual physical atmosphere.

A biome can exist over larger regions but a micro-biome is a combination of organisms that exist together in a characterized space on a considerably littler range. For instance, the micro-biome of human is the accumulation of microscopic organisms, infections, and different microorganisms that are available in or on a body of human.
