Here's why:
* Abiotic means "non-living."
* Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem (plants, animals, fungi, bacteria).
* Ecosystems are made up of both biotic and abiotic factors, all interacting with each other.
Examples of abiotic factors include:
* Temperature: Affects the types of plants and animals that can survive.
* Sunlight: Provides energy for photosynthesis in plants.
* Water: Essential for all life.
* Soil: Provides nutrients and support for plants.
* Wind: Can influence plant growth and spread seeds.
* Altitude: Affects temperature, sunlight, and rainfall.
* Latitude: Affects sunlight and temperature.
