Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

An ecological niche can be define as the function that an organism play in an ecosystem. According to the principle of competitive exclusion if the two different species have the same ecological niche then the species which is more powerful and more competitive will be able to derive resources. The less competitive will deprive of resources and decline in number.

Thus the given the statement is correct.
