Mulch itself is not alive, however within a few weeks or days there is a lot of life working with mulch to break it down. There are different bacteria and fungi that break it down into humus (not the kind you eat) and other nutrients. This is why you have to continue to apply mulch and also why aged mulch is good to plant in.

Can too much mulch kill your plants?

Usually mulch is used to cover areas where weeds grow. These weeds, if allowed to grow, will typically sap nutrients away from your desired plants. Using mulch will actually help your plants stay alive if applied correctly to stop weeds from growing and choking the roots of your plant. As long as you don't smother your plants with mulch, it should not kill them.
