Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Forests are living resources that have the potential for growth and development. It is a natural and renewable resource. The classification of resources can be on several bases. Depending on their origin, resources can be biotic or abiotic. Biotic resources are those resources that have life. Abiotic factors are non-living resources like air, soil, and water. The presence of forest affects several factors of living, like temperature, humidity, amount of sunlight, and precipitation received by a place. The world's forests contribute to the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere. The forest cover is steadily decreasing owing to human activities. There are several initiatives like afforestation to restore living forest resources.
The correct statement should be that forests are biotic resources.
