What are the signs of similarity between living organisms and inanimate nature?

Here are some examples. Objects of inanimate nature can be formed in the course of a chemical reaction or environmental factors. Some objects can grow over time. For example – stalactites and stalagmites in caves. Under the influence of various environmental factors, objects of inanimate nature are able to develop and change. Also, any object “dies”. This primarily concerns atoms. Radiation particles decay over time. Also, any object of inanimate nature decomposes under the influence of chemicals or corrosion.
