Why is that sea which is salty supports life but dead sea does not?

The Dead Sea has a much higher concentration of salt compared to other bodies of water, making it unfit for most organisms to survive in. In contrast, other seas and oceans have a lower salt concentration that can support a variety of marine life. Salinity levels in the water affect the osmotic balance within organisms, and extreme salinity levels can be toxic.
