Living things are part of an 'ecosystem'.
In brief:
All living things are part of a community of organisms. Organisms within the community interact with each other and their environment. The living organisms require certain inputs from abiotic and biotic components of the system.
Abiotic: e.g. mineral ions and climate conditions.
Biotic: Interactions between organisms within different trophic (tropic) levels. E.g. Predator prey relationships, or the break down of dead organisms by bacteria and fungi returning nutrients to the system.
Additional info: Trophic Levels are used to describe the transfer of energy and matter through a community. This is often represented by biologists in a trophic/biomass pyramid.

It's fairly literal: If I left you in space, or in a closed room, you would die. An organism requires an environment for food, shelter, etc. Some organisms, e.g. chemosynthetic bacteria, can be considered more isolated than others, but still, the prerequisites for energy require something other than one organism itself to survive. This is why ecological management is important, we can't just destroy the planet, because it is what we need to survive.

you desire nutrients to stay. And your nutrients additionally desires nutrients to stay, like grass or the solar. A residing element could desire to no longer exist in isolation, it desires very specific issues to exist and it desires them continuously.

Everything lives in a symbiotic relationship. We need plants for food and oxygen production. Why plants need us, I don't know!

By the term "living" one would think... it can not be there without a momma or a papa... at least I could not be here without both....
