The biotic components of the ecosystem are the living organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. Plant roots bind the soil and prevent its erosion by rainwater thereby preventing soil erosion. Soil porosity is increased by plant roots which in turn allows infiltration of rainwater into the underground layers and thereby, preventing flooding.
