No. Rotting wood is part of a ex-living thing. The bacteria and/or fungi in it, that are causing the deterioration, are living things though.
No because it is
The rotting of wood is a chemical change because of many reasons. One of the reasons is because when wood rots, it produces mold, which is a new substance. The definition of chemical change is a change that produces one or more new substances. When the wood rots, you are unable to take the rotted wood and mold and make it back into wood that is yet to be rotted. So because the wood produces one (or more) new substances, the rotting of wood is a chemical change.

Wood is a non-living thing. However, wood can be living. Wood contains cells and cells are one factor that defined living life. When a tree is still rooted and not cut - it is living. Therefore the wood it contains is living. When the tree is cut down - it dies. Therefore the wood it contains is dead.
The chemical change of wood rotting is called Decomposition
Wood is wood. It is not metal, it is a living thing.
It is a living thing because it still have cells.

Non living things such as a rotting peice of wood can be good for grubs and such. Or trees that are dead but hollowed out can provide shelter for groundcreatures.

Fruit flies will lay eggs in rotting wood. Fruit flies will generally lay their eggs nearly anywhere that they can.
Rotting wood is a chemical change because the decomposed wood has different properties that cannot be reversed. Chemical changes alter the identity of a substance, whereas physical changes do not.
