organism's
Belonging to life-form
Organism's is the possessive form of organism, indicating something belonging to or associated with a living thing.
An organism is any individual life form—plant, animal, bacterium, or other entity capable of growth and reproduction.
The possessive typically precedes biological features or processes: the organism's cell structure, an organism's ability to adapt to its environment.
