It depends how and in what situation you are using it. In
general, natural means "of nature". When we use it in Standard English, it usually
refers to anything that is not using artificial ingredients or processes. "Natural
foods" for example have only pure ingredients, without preservatives, colorings or other
additives.
"Natural world", on the other hand refers to
those things that occur in nature - animal kingdoms, the outdoors, food chains,
ecosystems, and most plants and animals would all be considered part of the natural
world.
Lastly, we sometimes use natural in the sense that
something happens, comes to us or is achieved automatically, without effort, such as a
baseball pitcher being a "natural" - already talented, in other words, or a natural
singer who was born with a very strong voice.
