You might explore the following question and perhaps it'll help find your
answer:
HOW do biological systems survive?

I see two clear cut ways:
1. they adapt to their environment

But also,

2. they protect themselves to a point where they don't have to adapt to the
environment as much, and have some independent existence, some leeway outside
of it.
