Solution
An ecosystem contains both the living organisms and the abiotic components of the environment.
Explanation:
An ecosystem includes the interaction between living (biotic) organisms such as producers, consumers, and decomposers, and non-living (abiotic) components like soil, water, air, and nutrients. This interaction forms a self-sufficient unit where energy flows and materials cycle continuously. Both biotic and abiotic components are essential for ecosystem functions like productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling.
