Yes, many living organisms inhabit the lithosphere, including organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. These organisms interact with the rock and soil of the lithosphere to derive nutrients and support their survival.

Microbial organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, were likely the first organisms to colonize rocks as they have the ability to thrive in extreme environments. These organisms can derive energy from sources like minerals, allowing them to survive in harsh conditions. Over time, these microorganisms played a crucial role in shaping the environment and paving the way for more complex life forms.
Live rock refers to pieces of rock or coral that have beneficial bacteria and microorganisms living on them. While they can become less "alive" if not properly cared for or if the organisms on them die due to poor water quality, they can still be revitalized with proper care. However, if left unattended for too long, the organisms can die, making the live rock less effective in maintaining a healthy aquarium environment.
organisms in fresh water had to adapt. they first lived in the oceans.
no. it is the other way around. living organisms are important to the rock cycle.
sedimentary rock
The first type of organisms to live in a new habitat are called pioneers. This is an organism that is forging the way for other life to be able to live comfortably in the new habitat.
