Extremophiles are organisms that thrive in extreme environmental conditions that are typically harmful to most life forms, such as high temperatures, high pressures, acidic or alkaline conditions, or high levels of radiation. They have unique adaptations that allow them to survive and even thrive in these extreme environments. Studying extremophiles helps scientists understand the limits of life on Earth and the potential for life on other planets.
