What is a biotic factor?

What type of animal would a tree be on the food web?
A producer.
Does competition happen in every ecosystem?
yes
Since a carrot does have pain receptors and it doesn’t have a brain so it doesn’t know when it is being eaten therefore it doesn’t really harm it, when a rabbit eats it for food is this a commensalism relationship?
No, even though the carrot isn’t being harmed the rabbit is still killing it so this would be a predation relationship.
