Salt is a crystal and is also called a mineral or a chemical produced item, meaning that salt is non-living

No, salt does not complete any of the 7 life processes of:

- Movement - It's inanimate
- Respiration - It doesn't create energy for use in the other processes
- Sensitivity - It doesn't react to its surroundings
- Nutrition - It doesn't eat or otherwise absorb nutrients
- Exertion - It's inanimate
- Reproduction - It doesn't create copies of itself
- Growth - It doesn't grow


I believe the "growth" you're talking about is actually caused by the evaporation of water or another solvent, which leaves the salt behind. This is not the salt reproducing, but simply more being left.
