Organisms adapt to their climate through various physiological, behavioral, and structural changes. For example, desert-dwelling species may develop water conservation mechanisms, such as thick skin or nocturnal lifestyles to avoid heat. In colder climates, animals often have thick fur or layers of fat for insulation, while plants may exhibit features like deep roots or waxy leaves to withstand frost. These adaptations enhance their survival and reproductive success in specific environmental conditions.
Climate determines the types of organisms that can survive in a biome by influencing factors such as temperature, precipitation, and sunlight, which in turn affect the availability of resources like water and food. Organisms that are adapted to the specific climate conditions of a biome are more likely to thrive and reproduce, thus shaping the overall biodiversity of that biome.

A niche is the place where a particular organisms are adapted
Their bodies were adapted to colder conditions.
Polar bears are adapted to live in such a cold climate as they have a thick furry coat over them which keeps them warm. If they did not have that coat the polar bears would freeze to death.
Desert animals have adapted to the desert climate with their tough, scaly skin that prevents water loss and protects them from extreme heat in the day & freezing temperatures at night.
woolly mammoths
Fur and fat to keep warmth in

Organisms that live in the littoral zone must be adapted to humid, moist conditions. They have to be able to handle dramatic changes in the tides and temperature.
they huddle up in groups and they have lots of blubber around them
Climate is important because of its affects on organisms and where they live. Climate is also important because you need water and sunlight to grow plants.
