Abiotic factors are non-living components of an ecosystem that influence the living organisms. They include physical factors such as light, temperature, soil, and water. These factors are essential for the survival and growth of organisms.
2. Biotic vs. Abiotic:
Biotic factors are related to living organisms (like predation, competition, and reproduction), while abiotic factors are physical or chemical components (like light, temperature, and water).
