Question

Explain how water can be an abiotic environmental factor when it is essential to all life on earth.

Answer 1

Even though water is essential to all life and is a part of all living organisms, water itself is not a living thing. Water by itself is abiotic, but both biotic and abiotic factors are critical to healthy environments.

This is the edgy ans!!

Answer 2

Water itself does not live. Water does not need sustenance of any sort to continue to function and it does not pass on any sort of DNA to any build a future generation so it is not biotic.
