Abiotic factors refer to non-living factors such as water and air. While there are living organisms in the air and water, neither water nor air can be classified as a living thing. The amount of precipitation in an ecosystem is another example of an abiotic factor.
Biotic factors are living things. For example, plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and etc may all be components of your ecosystem and they are all living. They affect the environment in their own ways through interactions with other organisms and through their interactions with abiotic factors. For example, earthworms affect the soil, which is an abiotic component (if you don't include the microorganisms living in the soil).
