Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • A population is a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area. Giant tube worms in the ocean vent are a population as they are of the same species in that location.
  • A community is made up of all the different populations (species) in an area. Since giant tube worms co - exist with snails, pink vent fish etc., they are part of a community.
  • An ecosystem includes all the living organisms (like the giant tube worms, snails, fish) and the non - living components (like the hot water with sulfur) in an area. So, giant tube worms are part of an ecosystem.

Answer:

a population, part of a community, part of an ecosystem
