What is the most important characteristic of living organism?
From a biological viewpoint, life is not a single property, so it is difficult to state what is the *most* important characteristic. But if you’re looking for just one simplified answer, then my response is *REPRODUCTION.* It is the driving force of evolution, which itself is responsible for the diversity of plant and animal species on Earth. Any life that fails to replace itself with new individuals of its own kind will soon vanish from the planet. It is only through reproduction that a species ensures its perpetuation.
