Answer:
The biotic components of an ecosystem include the living organisms such as plants and animals. Plants play a very important role in controlling floods and soil erosion. The roots of plants hold the soil particles together, thereby preventing the top layer of the soil to get eroded by wind or running water. The roots also make the soil porous, thereby allowing ground water infiltration and preventing floods. Hence, plants are able to prevent soil erosion and natural calamities such as floods and droughts. They also increase the fertility of soil and biodiversity.

Answer:
The biotic components of the ecosystem are the living organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. Plant roots bind the soil and prevent its erosion by rainwater thereby preventing soil erosion. Soil porosity is increased by plant roots which in turn allows infiltration of rainwater into the underground layers and thereby, preventing flooding.
