Why is knowledge about inanimate nature necessary to study living nature?

Everything in our world is closely related to each other. Including wildlife and inanimate nature. Why is it so important to have knowledge about inanimate and living nature? The answer is as follows:

Everything is inextricably linked. The habitat of organisms (multicellular, protozoa) is closely related to them, as well as to weather conditions. Knowing these or those geographical, climatic features, one can distinguish patterns in the behavior of animals. Inanimate nature serves as a habitat, refuge, breeding ground for living beings. That is why it is very important, when studying living nature, to study inanimate.
