Adaptation.
"Darwin argued that fitness arises through a process called adaptation. Successful adaptations enable organisms to become better suited to their environment, better able to survive and reproduce. Darwin also used the word adaptation to describe any inherited characteristic that increases an animal's or plant's fitness for survival."
