Yes, an organism by definition is not only alive, it reacts to stimuli, maintains homeostasis, grows and can reproduce. Once it dies, it returns to the soil or water as organic matter. If something cannot be alive, it is inorganic. This includes all the minerals on the earth or what we sees as "rocks".

Which is the organism that is dead and alive?
An organism considered dead can no longer perform life functions and does not respond to stimuli. In contrast, a living organism actively maintains homeostasis and responds to its environment to sustain life processes. The concept of an organism being "dead and alive" simultaneously does not align with biological definitions.
When something grows into a separate organism it is called what?
When something grows into a separate organism, it is called "budding." This process is commonly observed in certain types of organisms, such as yeast and hydra, where a new individual develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism. Once fully developed, the new organism can detach and live independently.
Do organisms have to be alive in order to be classified as an organism?
Yes - organisms must be living things. They can be dead - as in they were once alive, but they cannot be a non-living thing, such as a mineral. All organisms are capable (in some way) of responding to stimulus, growing, reproducing and maintaining homeostasis. Therefore a non-living thing cannot be called an organism.

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. Signs of decomposition, such as changes in color, texture, or smell, also indicate that something was once alive. Differentiate between alive and dead organisms by observing their behavior, physical characteristics, and overall condition.
Distinction of dead organism and something that was never alive?
A dead organism is a once-living entity that has ceased all biological functions, characterized by the presence of organic tissues and cellular structures, which can decompose over time. In contrast, something that was never alive, such as rocks or water, lacks biological processes, cells, and the capability for growth or reproduction. The key distinction lies in the past life of the organism and the absence of life in inanimate objects.

What is an abiotc feature?
