What are abiotic components of a habitat?

Abiotic components of a habitat are the non-living physical and chemical factors present in an environment. These components influence the survival, growth, and distribution of living organisms.

Examples of abiotic components include sunlight, air, water, soil, temperature, minerals, and climate conditions. Plants and animals depend on these factors for important life processes. For example, plants need sunlight, water, and minerals for growth, while animals require suitable temperature and water availability to survive.

Abiotic components interact with living organisms and help create the environmental conditions found in different habitats.
