How does natural selection depend on the ability of organisms to adapt to their environment?

Natural selection depends on the ability of organisms to adapt to their environment because it is the process by which organisms with advantageous traits that help them survive and reproduce in their environment are more likely to pass on those traits to their offspring. This leads to the gradual evolution of populations over time as individuals with beneficial traits become more common in the population.
