Fire exhibits some characteristics that resemble those of living organisms, such as metabolism and the ability to respond to stimuli. It consumes fuel (like living organisms consume nutrients) and produces waste in the form of heat and light. However, fire does not have cellular structure, does not grow or reproduce biologically, and lacks the ability to adapt or evolve, which are essential traits of living organisms. Therefore, while it shares some traits, fire is not considered a living entity.
Carbon dioxide is NOT a life characteristic.
The primary characteristic of life that distinguishes a flowering plant from fire is the ability to grow, reproduce, and undergo metabolic processes. Flowering plants are living organisms that perform photosynthesis, respond to their environment, and have cellular structures. In contrast, fire is a chemical reaction involving combustion that does not possess any biological functions or the capacity for growth and reproduction. Therefore, while both can exhibit movement or change, only flowering plants are considered living entities.
One single characteristic, if you have to pick one, is that it multiplies, or reproduces.

Adaptation
From what I can tell, the most prominent characteristic of life is its changeability and unpredictability. These factors affect just about everyone's life, no matter when or where they live or lived.
Primarily so that there can be more Life.
