It's a part of the cell, and cells make up organisms, so therefore it is part of living creatures, but whether they themselves are "living" is more complicated. They perform necessary processes.

There is also a theory that mitochondria were once individual prokaryotic organisms that were absorbed by other cells and over time became a part of those cells. This is supported by the genetic information we have about mitochondria. They contain their own genetic material (distinct from that of the cell they are in) and share other similarities with prokaryotic organisms.
