No. Rotting wood is part of a ex-living thing. The bacteria and/or fungi in it, that are causing the deterioration, are living things though.
Carpenter ants are known for living in rotting wood and creating complex systems of tunnels and chambers. They excavate wood to create galleries for nesting and can cause damage to wooden structures.
No because it is
The rotting of back steps is a chemical change. This is because the deterioration of the wood is caused by a chemical reaction with oxygen and water, breaking down the molecular structure of the wood over time.
Rotting wood is typically broken down by fungi and bacteria through a process called decomposition. These organisms feed on the organic matter in the wood, breaking it down into simpler compounds like carbon dioxide and nutrients that can be recycled back into the ecosystem.
The rotting of wood is a chemical change because of many reasons. One of the reasons is because when wood rots, it produces mold, which is a new substance. The definition of chemical change is a change that produces one or more new substances. When the wood rots, you are unable to take the rotted wood and mold and make it back into wood that is yet to be rotted. So because the wood produces one (or more) new substances, the rotting of wood is a chemical change.

Wood is a non-living thing. However, wood can be living. Wood contains cells and cells are one factor that defined living life. When a tree is still rooted and not cut - it is living. Therefore the wood it contains is living. When the tree is cut down - it dies. Therefore the wood it contains is dead.
Wood is wood. It is not metal, it is a living thing.
The chemical change of wood rotting is called Decomposition
The wood siding is rotting at the bottom due to prolonged exposure to moisture, which can lead to decay and fungal growth in the wood.
It is a living thing because it still have cells.

Non living things such as a rotting peice of wood can be good for grubs and such. Or trees that are dead but hollowed out can provide shelter for groundcreatures.
Fruit flies will lay eggs in rotting wood. Fruit flies will generally lay their eggs nearly anywhere that they can.
