Please do not modify main method or create another method beyond that required
Only public static int howManyOrganisms(char[][] image) is needed
Any answer that modifies main method or creates a method besides "public static int howManyOrganisms(char[][] image)?" is not valid

Main method driver code:

. Determine the number of organisms in an image (2d array), and label each organism. o Signature: public static int howManyorganisms (char]I] image) Description : Given a 2d array of characters, where an asterisk (*) marks a non-empty cell. An organism is defined as all cells connected directly to other cells in the up/down/left/right (not diagonal) directions. -The method signature above is not a recursive method. Instead, it iterates through the image and as soon as it encounters a new organism, it calls a recursive method (that you define) that labels the newly found organism. Look at the provided driver code to see how the organism is stored and compare that with the output of the labeled organisms below. In the original image, the organisms are identified by asterisks ("), but the resulting image has each organism labeled with a different character in the alphabet. - The image is NOT guaranteed to be rectangular (ie it may be ragged)
