Best Answer

When trying to come up with characteristics of nonliving things, it helps to think about what makes them different from living things. Unlike living organisms, nonliving things do not need water to survive, nor do they have reproductive or respiratory systems. In addition, nonliving things do not need nutrition in order to exist.
