Abiotic Factor
Abiotic factor explained in an easy to understand way:
Have you ever tried to bake a cake but realized halfway through that you're missing a key ingredient like eggs or flour? Just like the success of a cake depends on having all the right ingredients, the survival and prosperity of an ecosystem depend on abiotic factors such as water, light, and temperature. Without these nonliving components, similar to missing ingredients in a recipe, an ecosystem cannot function properly, as they provide the necessary conditions that support life and allow living organisms to thrive.
