T he abiotic factors that our plant depends on are sun, which gives them the energy to photosynthesize, water, that keeps them hydrated, and temperature, so they don't burn up or freeze. Some biotic factors are soil, so they can get nitrogen, and other plants, because those other plants cold take away some nutrients.
