Examples of object that has life but inanimate?

Examples of inanimate objects that exhibit signs of life include certain types of Artificial Intelligence systems, like chatbots or virtual assistants, which can simulate conversation and learning. Additionally, organic materials such as compost or decomposing plant matter can be considered "alive" in a biological sense, as they host microorganisms and facilitate life processes despite being inanimate. Another example is a petri dish containing bacteria, which, while not alive in the traditional sense, is a medium that supports life.
