Living things respond to stimuli in their environment and surroundings. It could be going outside to enjoy a warm summer day, getting inside out of the rain, sadness over the death of a loved one, moving away from danger, breaking hard when you are about to hit another car, etc.
Living things respond to feelings and energy around them. The more tense or upset you get, the more trapped and scared and powerless you feel, which can lead to the feeling that you need to protect yourself. If the mood is happy or playful, it leads to feelings of happiness and well-being.

. . . of responding to stimuli.
Living things will grow, metabolize, reproduce, respond to stimuli and adapt to their environment. Non-living things may do one or more of these things (for example a crystal may grow) but will not do all five.
Yes - organisms must be living things. They can be dead - as in they were once alive, but they cannot be a non-living thing, such as a mineral. All organisms are capable (in some way) of responding to stimulus, growing, reproducing and maintaining homeostasis. Therefore a non-living thing cannot be called an organism.
They are LIVING THINGS!
The living things have life while the non-living things do not have life. The living things locomote and respond to stimuli while the non-living things do not.
All living things, though physically capable of carrying out their physiological functions independently, always need the presence of other living things. They form relationships with other living things for enrichment of their own existence.
. . . of responding to stimuli.
They must be capable of responding to stimuli, reproducing, growing/developing, and maintaining homeostasis.
Living things are organisms that possess characteristics such as growth, reproduction, responding to stimuli, and the ability to consume and use energy.
Living things will grow, metabolize, reproduce, respond to stimuli and adapt to their environment. Non-living things may do one or more of these things (for example a crystal may grow) but will not do all five.

Living things are alive.
Living things are capable of movement, growth, and reproduction. (there are more, but you asked for three)
Responding to stimuli.
As science defines it, to be living, a thing must be capable of growth, reproduction and metabolism.
Living things are alive.
living things have different physical features and different needs to survive.
Living things capable of processing their own food are called Autotrophs. They are living things which contain chlorophyll. So, plants are the only autotrophs.
