Let’s Take a Look At Living vs. Nonliving Things!

Living things are things that are alive and have certain traits like growing, reproducing, and being able to change according to their surroundings. Plants, animals, fungi, and tiny living things are some examples. On the other hand, nonliving things don’t have these traits. They don’t grow, reproduce, or react to what’s happening around them. Examples of nonliving things include rocks, water, air, and man-made items.
