In a given habitat we have 20 plant species and 20 animal species. Should we call this as ‘diversity’ or ‘biodiversity’? Justify your answer.

It’s better to call it as biodiversity; biodiversity is a term which defines the sum total of organisms present in a specific area.

Whereas diversity is a broad term which may be used either foe living organisms or non living things. It operates for a very large area as well.
