     The two common parts in river habitat are abiotic components and biotic components. Abiotic components are consist of non-living components . Biotic components are consist of living organisms such as plants or animals.
     Abiotic components that are found in river habitat include air, water, rock, and sunlight. Air supplies oxygen to living organisms in river habitat, making a relation. Water help make them stay alive. These organisms such as lotuses and fishes need water to live. Rock works as a habitat too. Some organisms could be crabs, shrimps, and mayflies. Sunlight gives  significant result in photosynthesis process, make a relation with autotroph organisms.
     Biotic components that found in river habitat are fishes, crabs, eels, mayflies, frogs, and shrimps. There are plants and autotroph organisms as well such as lotuses, moss, lilies, and algae. There are some protists as well such as dinoflagellates, ciliated protozoa, and diatoms. Many organisms are out there, each organisms make a relation with others and it make an ecosystem.
