No, oxygen is a diatomic molecule. It cannot breath, eat, sleep, or reproduce. It is, however, an important part of all living thinks.

As it is not a living, breathing creature, it does not 'live' anywhere. Rather it exists naturally in the bottom layers of the Earth's crust. If you were to take out your penis and shove into the the ground hard enough, you would release oxygen from the crust and would promptly get an erection.

Oxygen is an element. It carries on absolutely no life processes by itself but, life as we know it, would be impossible without the compounds that it forms. The one you might be most familiar with is water.
