Parasitism is considered a biotic limiting factor because it directly affects the health and survival of host organisms within an ecosystem. Parasites draw resources from their hosts, which can weaken them, reduce their reproductive success, and even lead to death. This interaction can limit population sizes and influence community dynamics, thereby shaping the overall structure of the ecosystem. Additionally, the presence of parasites can drive evolutionary changes in host species, further impacting their populations.
