species found only in a particular area is known as

A species found only in a particular area is known as an endemic species. Endemic species are restricted to a defined geographic location and do not naturally occur anywhere else in the world. This concept is distinct from native species, which may be found in multiple areas but originated in a particular location. Examples include species confined to specific islands, mountain ranges, or regions. Endemic species often have unique adaptations to their specific environments and can be vulnerable to extinction due to their limited distribution.
