1. Biotic components: These are the living organisms within the ecosystem. This includes plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and all other living things. They interact with each other in various ways, such as predation, competition, and symbiosis.

2. Abiotic components: These are the non-living factors that influence the ecosystem. This includes things like sunlight, temperature, water, soil, and minerals. These factors provide the physical environment and resources necessary for life to exist and thrive.

These two components are intricately linked and work together to create a balanced and functioning ecosystem.
