fitnessis the end result of the ability to adapt and get selected by Nature. Explain with suitable example

We know that some organisms have better ability and adaptation to survive in adverse environment than others. In a harsh environment the organism is that can survive and reproduce are considered as selected successfully by the nature. They are considered as fit to stay in that natural condition. For example, a tree disperses seeds and mostly they fall down on the area under and surrounding the parent tree. But not all the seeds are able to germinate due to lack of space and food resources. The seeds that germinate and grow into new plants are considered to have ability to fight with adverse condition and succeed. They are said to be selected by the nature.  Thus, fitness is the end result of the ability to adapt and get selected by nature.
