Competition is important for natural selection because it allows for the selection of the most successful variations within a population. Organisms that are better adapted to their environment, outcompete others for resources, and are more successful in surviving and reproducing. This process helps drive the evolution of species over time by favoring traits that increase an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.
