How can we apply the cell theory to better understand living and non living things
The theory of evolution is that all living things come from other living things.
An ecosystem is a community of interacting biological and non living things that inhabit a particular area. They are studies so that we can understand the interactions that occur and therefore better understand the organisms living there.
This theory is known as biogenesis, which states that living organisms can only arise from pre-existing living organisms. This principle contrasts with the earlier theory of spontaneous generation, which suggested that living organisms could arise from non-living matter.

Spontaneous Generation
Spontaneous generation. It was proved false, by numerous scientists, but ultimately Louis Pasteur, and eventually was replaced with the theory Biogenesis--that living things arise from living things

the cell theory
It is abiogenesis that theorizes about the way life could arise from non-living materials. Some may use the term spontaneous generation. A link is provided below to the Wikipedia post.
