Because either a shortage or a surplus of them can stunt optimum growth, creating a dwarfed organism.
Some limiting factors in population growth are food, water and space !!!!
Phosphorus
There are many limiting factors in the desert. Some of these include; little water, extreme heat, few plants and animals and no shelter.
The holocaust.
Climate,lack of shelter, sicknesses and parasites, food or water as well as the carrying capacity are examples of limiting factors.

Booty
Not all resources are limiting factors, but all limiting factors are resources. A limiting factor is a resource that is in short supply and restricts growth or productivity, such as nutrients, water, or light in an ecosystem. Other resources may be abundant and not constrain growth, thus not acting as limiting factors. Therefore, while some resources can limit growth and performance, others may not have that effect due to their availability.
population, or habitat constrictions
Some limiting factors for lemurs include habitat loss due to deforestation, competition for resources with other species, hunting and poaching, and vulnerability to climate change impacts. These factors threaten their survival and contribute to their declining populations in the wild.
Density-dependent limiting factors include competition for resources, predation, and disease, which become more intense as the population density increases. Density-independent limiting factors, such as natural disasters and climate events, affect populations regardless of their density.
