Abiotic component

Abiotic components are the non-living things in the environment. For example, rocks, air, water, and sunlight are all abiotic components. They are important because living things need these things to survive. Just like you need air to breathe and water to drink, plants and animals also need these abiotic components to survive.

Rocks make up the soil in which plants grow, and air is necessary for animals to breathe. Water is essential for all living things, and it helps transport nutrients and oxygen in plants and animals. Sunlight provides energy for plants through photosynthesis, which helps them grow.

Abiotic components can also affect other aspects of the environment. For example, air pollution can harm both humans and animals, and changes in water temperature or pH levels can impact the survival of aquatic organisms.

So, even though they may not be alive, abiotic components play a crucial role in the health and survival of living things in the environment.
