The study of how living things interact with each other is called:

  1. Biomechanics

  2. Evolution

  3. Ecology

  4. Taxonomy

The correct answer is: Ecology

Ecology is the study of how living things interact with each other. This includes the relationships between organisms, their environment, and how they influence each other's behavior and development. Biomechanics is the study of how physical forces like gravity and muscle contractions affect the movements and actions of living organisms. Evolution is the study of how living things change and adapt over time. Taxonomy is the science of organizing and classifying living things based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships. While all of these fields may relate to the study of living things, ecology specifically focuses on the interactions between organisms in their environment.
