A fundamental niche refers to the entire set of conditions under which an organism (or species) can survive and reproduce. It encompasses all the potential functions and roles an organism could have in an ecosystem without considering competition or other limiting factors. A realized niche is a subset of the fundamental niche, representing the actual conditions and functions an organism occupies in the presence of competitors and other constraints. Detritivores are organisms that feed on dead organic matter, and "detritivores niche" is not a standard, widely - recognized general term for the entire function of something in an ecosystem like "fundamental niche" is.
