Competition is the correct term for the interaction between organisms that need the same resources to survive, but the amounts of these resources are limited. This is because competition occurs when multiple organisms compete for limited resources such as food, water, or living space. The organisms involved in competition engage in aggressive or competitive behaviors to gain access to these resources, as the resources are not available in sufficient quantities to support all individuals. This competitive interaction is a fundamental mechanism that drives the population dynamics and evolution of species.
