Reproduction is linked to the stability of the population of a species. Justify with the statement.

Every organism faces a lot of competition for survival. Barring a very few, most of the organisms end up being food for some other organism. Competition and predation result in a drastic reduction in the population of a species. But reproduction ensures that the population of a species is maintained at an optimum level. So. it can be said that reproduction is linked to the stability of the population of a species.
