Respuesta :
Water is not and has never been alive. Only things that undergo metabolism are biotic.
Answer: The correct answer is because it never lived.
Abiotic components are the non living components of the ecosystem. This means that these components do not have life in them. Example- soil, air, water, temperature, and humidity
Water is a non living component of the ecosystem as it never lived. It is a part of the biosphere.
Thus, the correct answer is- water is considered abiotic because it never lived.
