what is abiotic component

Abiotic components, also known as abiotic factors, are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems. They include physical conditions and non-living resources that affect living organisms in terms of growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Examples of abiotic components include water, light, radiation, temperature, humidity, atmosphere, acidity, salinity, precipitation, altitude, minerals, tides, rain, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, and soil. All non-living components of an ecosystem, such as atmospheric conditions and water resources, are called abiotic components. Abiotic factors and biotic factors work together to create a unique ecosystem. Biotic factors are living things within an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and bacteria, while abiotic factors are non-living components, such as water, soil, and atmosphere.
