Question

. Movement is the most important criterion to decide whether something is alive or not Do you agree with this statement? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

I do not agree with the statement that movement is the most important criterion to decide if something is living or not. There are many living organisms which are sessile but living. The entire plant kingdom has restricted movement but is perfectly alive. Even amongst animals there are several sessile organisms like Hydra, sponges, corals.
