Answer:

The "functional unit of the environment" which comprising of the 'living and non-living components' is called the ecosystem.

Explanation:

• An ecosystem refers to the smallest unit on the biosphere, where living organisms live in conjuncture with the non-living components in an interacting system.
• The living and non-living components are linked through the food cycle and energy flow.
• The living components include "plants, animals, microorganisms" and the non-living components include water, sunlight, soil, etc.
• Each component of the ecosystem has its 'own niche' and role in the environment, maybe a small insect-like ant or a big animal like an elephant.
• An ecosystem can be terrestrial or aquatic and several ecosystems combine to form biomes like tropical, tundra, desert regions.
