How is a dead tree alive?

A dead tree may still appear to be alive due to remaining intact and standing upright even after it has died. However, the tree is no longer performing functions essential for life, such as transporting water and nutrients or photosynthesis. Without these processes, the tree is considered dead even if it maintains its structure.

How you know when something once alive or dead?

If an organism is no longer growing, moving, responding to stimuli, or carrying out metabolic processes, it is likely dead.

Differentiate between alive and dead organisms by observing their behavior, physical characteristics, and overall condition.
