what are known as non living organisms?
Answers
Answer:
Non-living things are those lacking the characteristics of life. Based on that definition, non-living things include rock, water, sand, glass, and sun. None of them shows the characteristics of being alive. Others define a non-living thing as that, which used to be part of a living thing. For example, coal, wood, rubber, paper, etc. They are considered non-living things in spite of initially being a part of a living tree.
Explanation:
In ecology, non-living things are one of the constituents of the abiotic components (abiotic factors) of the environment, such as soil and atmosphere. They affect the living things in terms of their growth, reproduction, and maintenance. The living things, in turn, are called the biotic components or biotic factors.
