Bark is a biotic component, as it is the protective outer layer of a tree's trunk and branches, composed of living cells, including phloem and other tissues. It plays a crucial role in the growth and health of the tree by protecting it from environmental factors and pests. While the bark itself may consist of dead cells on the outermost layer, it is part of a living organism, making it biotic.
