Well, when humans change to make themselves comfortable in unpleasant conditions it is known as adptation or evolution.

Evolution only occurs when the last species dies and a new one, with a more equipped body, takes over.
I refer you, instead of mass spamming the edit box with information, to this very interesting article/essay on the biological adaptation with humans in reference to nutritional, physiological and psychological terms.

the geographical variability of some morphological, physiological and serological traits of man is discussed with respect to the question, how far this variability can be considered as the result of selective adaptation processes. Though there is already some evidence supporting such an assumption, much more detailed and exactly planned research is necessary to clear the indubitable relations between the distribution patterns of anthropological traits and the various environmental conditions of human biotops. Particularly much more work is required to understand the causative mechanisms on which these relations are based.

An inherited characteristic that increases an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its specific environment is called an adaptation. Adaptations help organisms better suit their environment and increase their chances of survival and reproduction.
adapting
Adaptation is the term that describes a trait that increases an individual's ability to survive in a particular environment. It allows the organism to better cope with the challenges and demands of its surroundings, improving its chances of successful reproduction and passing on its traits to future generations.
Adaptations. These are traits that have evolved to help an organism survive and reproduce in its specific environment. Adaptations can include physical features, behaviors, or physiological mechanisms.
An adaptive trait is a trait that helps organisms survive and reproduce. Adaptation refers to both the current state of being adapted and to the dynamic evolutionary process that leads to the adaptation.
"This play is an adaptation of a short novel." "An adaptation is a change in an organism to fit its environment." "The animal had a special adaptation for its environment."
adaptation
Adaptation is when a change in an organisms that makes it suited to a particular environment. It responds to their environment
Yes, an adaptation is a characteristic or trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in their environment. Therefore, for an adaptation to be successful, it must fit the specific challenges and conditions of the environment in which the organism lives.
Adaption is in a way, becoming comfortable with the environment. Adaptation is changing to suit the environment.
Adaptation (I'm studying the same thing ;)
It is the same as and no different from a cow's structural adaptation to survive in its environment.
That adaptation is called camouflage.

I am not sure what adaptation you are referring to, and which animal or plant you are wondering about.
