Is a stapler abiotic or biotic?

Answer 1

Oh honey, a stapler is about as biotic as a rock. It's as lifeless as my last blind date. So, in case you were wondering, a stapler is definitely abiotic. No pulse, no heartbeat, just good old-fashioned metal and plastic.

Answer 2

Let's define our terms, shall we? Then I think you'll be able to figure it out. Biotic means having living matter; abiotic means there is no living matter in the thing. Is a stapler alive? Nope.

Answer 3

A stapler is abiotic because it is a man-made object and does not possess life or biological processes.
