One characteristic of a stable ecosystem is the interdependence of organisms.
•An ecosystem is said to be in stability or equilibrium if it possesses the tendency of coming back to the state of equilibrium after a disturbance or perturbation.
• The stability of an ecosystem is possible when the organisms within the ecosystem are interdependent.
• All the organisms living within an ecosystem are interdependent, they depend on each other for survival and existence.
• Either indirectly or directly, both the animals and plants depend on each other.
• Like rats eat plants and grains, and snakes eat rats, this snake eventually is eaten by an eagle. All this takes place because of the interdependence of animals and plants on food chains.
Thus, the correct answer is option B, one characteristic of a stable ecosystem is an interdependence of organisms.
