Biotic Factors:

* Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem. They include all plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other organisms that interact within the ecosystem.

Example of a Biotic Factor in an Ocean Ecosystem:

* Seaweed (Algae): Seaweed is a primary producer, meaning it creates its own food through photosynthesis. It serves as a crucial food source for many ocean animals, provides habitat for smaller organisms, and releases oxygen into the water.

Other Examples:

* Fish (consumers)

* Whales (consumers)

* Corals (animals that form a symbiotic relationship with algae)

* Bacteria (decomposers)

* Plankton (tiny organisms that form the base of the food chain)
