Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of biotic and abiotic factors: Biotic factors refer to living components in an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. Abiotic factors are non-living components, such as water, rocks, temperature, and sunlight.
Examine each option provided in the question: Determine whether each option represents a living (biotic) or non-living (abiotic) component.
Option 1: Sapling - A sapling is a young tree, which is a living organism. Therefore, it is considered a biotic factor.
Option 2: Water - Water is a non-living substance essential for life but does not itself constitute a living organism. It is an abiotic factor.
Option 3: Rocks and Option 4: Temperature - Both rocks and temperature are non-living components of the environment, making them abiotic factors.
