Varsha Shivanand K · Answer

An organism or a thing should fulfill all the characteristics of a living organism to be considered as living. A living organism is made up of cells, show movement, grow, need food and nutrition, breathe or respire, excrete, reproduce, have definite life span and respond to stimuli. Soil does not fulfill any of these characteristics of living organisms.So, they are considered as non-living things. They are abiotic components.
