The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the transition zone between two different types of vegetation in an ecosystem. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms in the question are "transition zone" and "vegetation of ecosystem." This indicates that we are looking for a specific ecological term that describes an area where two different ecosystems or vegetation types meet. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Ecotone - Ecoline - Ecosystem - Echesis 4. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - **Ecosystem**: This term refers to the entire community of living organisms and their physical environment, not a specific transition zone. - **Echesis**: This term is not commonly used in ecological contexts related to vegetation zones. - **Ecoline**: While this term can refer to a gradient between two ecosystems, it is not specifically about the transition zone. 5. **Identifying the Correct Term**: The term that specifically refers to the transition zone between two different vegetation types is **Ecotone**. An ecotone can be narrow or wide and serves as a meeting point for species from both ecosystems. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Ecotone**. **Final Answer**: The transition zone between the two vegetations of an ecosystem is called **Ecotone**. ---
