One example of how a plant would need to compete for resources is in a dense forest where sunlight availability is limited. In this scenario, plants must compete for access to sunlight in order to photosynthesize and grow effectively. Plants that are taller or have broader leaves may have an advantage in reaching and absorbing more sunlight, while smaller or understory plants may struggle to compete for this vital resource. This competition for sunlight can lead to adaptations such as taller growth habits, efficient leaf structures, or the ability to grow quickly in order to outcompete neighboring plants for access to sunlight.
