The term niche is more general in meaning than habitat. A habitat is specifically a place in which an organism can live. A niche refers to a survival strategy which involves a place to live, food to eat (or in the case of green plants, food to create) and any other unique aspect of a given organism that gives it an opportunity to survive.
