Detailed explanation-1: -An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water. In a marine ecosystem, abiotic factors would include salinity and ocean currents. Abiotic and biotic factors work together to create a unique ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -An abiotic is a physical and non-living factor. This can include chemicals or parts of the ecosystem. Abiotics serve as components of degradation and corrosion by physical and chemical processes such as in hydrolysis. Abiotics are also known as abiotic factors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abiotic factors are part of the ecosystem and can impact the associated living things, but they are not living. The term “abiotic” comes from the root parts “a-” meaning “without, ‘’ and “bio, ‘’ meaning “life.” The living parts of an ecosystem are called “biotic factors.”
