Detailed explanation-1: -A biotic factor is a living organism that shapes its environment. In a freshwater ecosystem, examples might include aquatic plants, fish, amphibians, and algae. Biotic and abiotic factors work together to create a unique ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -A: Biotic, because it was once a living thing. Things that are abiotic factors were never living.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem. These are obtained from the biosphere and are capable of reproduction. Examples of biotic factors are animals, birds, plants, fungi, and other similar organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biotic factors are grouped by scientists into three major groups, which define their role in the flow of energy which all living things in the ecosystem need to survive. These groups are producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores.

Detailed explanation-5: -Producer type biotic factors (Autotrophs) The producers are biotic factors that are very important in an ecological system because these organisms “produce” food from inorganic materials and energy sources. Life may not be able to exist without them.
