Biotic factors on rock platform?
light, temperature, sailinity, pH, tidal cycles, currents, waves, wind are all ABIOTIC factors as they are non-living.
Biotic factors are all those factors that are living for example the relationship between organisms:
Predator-prey: where one organism eats another
Parasitism: where one organism (parasite) lives off another organism (host) and it is detrimental to the host
Commensalism: one organism benefits but the other organism is neither benefited or harmed
Mutualism: two organisms in a relationship where both benefit but neither are harmed
Allelopathy: one species exerts a chemical that acts like a pesticide and prevents any other species from growing around it

Star fish belong to the class Asteroidea and sea urchins belong to the class Echinoidea. There are other echinoderm classes such as sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) and brittle stars (Ophiuroidea) are two of them. All these classes fall under the Echinoderm phylum.
All echinoderms share some distinguishing features:
1. Their adult bodies are arranged in five equal parts
2. They have an internal calcium carbonate skeleton
3. They have a mouth, but no head or brain (they do have a nervous system)
4. They can posses tube feet for locomotion
5. They posses a internal hydraulic system consisting of tubes of sea water to regulate the body's internal pressure and to control movement feeding and respiration.
