Give a scientific reason: Non-living things also grow.

(N/A) Non-living objects can exhibit growth,but this is fundamentally different from the growth observed in living organisms.
In non-living things,such as mountains,boulders,or sand dunes,growth occurs due to the accumulation of material on their external surfaces. This is known as external growth or accretion.
In contrast,living organisms exhibit internal growth,where cells divide and increase in mass from within. Therefore,growth cannot be considered a defining property of living organisms because it is not exclusive to them.
