Living things grow but non living things do not grow.
I beg to disagree with the statement above. A volcano may not be a ling thing but it sure grows. Stalactites and stalagmites also grow. A balloon grows as it is inflated and cemented roads also grow when exposed to the sunlight.
It is safer to say that living things grow from the inside while most non-living things grow from the accumulation of matter outside or from expansion due to heat.
living things move while non living things not
simply . we roproduce while non-living things cannot

A community has living things in it and a ecosystem has both living and non-living things in it. that is just contrasting it... :)

Living things like bugs grow. Non-living things like rocks or water, don't grow at all.
Living things are organisms that exhibit characteristics such as growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Non-living things do not possess these characteristics and are typically inanimate objects. To distinguish between living and non-living things, we can look for signs of life such as movement, growth, reproduction, and the ability to respond to stimuli. Living things also require energy and nutrients to survive, while non-living things do not have these requirements.
Living things grow and produce offspring of their own kind .
In non-living things, growth is considered extrinsic because it does not involve the internal development or replication of the materials that make up the object. Instead, growth in non-living things typically results from the external addition of new materials or components to the existing structure. Examples include the growth of ice in a freezer or the accumulation of dust on a surface.
Living things are organized in hierarchical levels, from cells to tissues to organs to organ systems, and exhibit growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Non-living things lack this level of organization and do not exhibit the characteristics of living organisms.
Living things have the capacity to reproduce, non-living things do not reproduce. The living things use biological energy for their growth and development, non-living things do not require such energy.
