True. An organism can still be considered a biotic factor even if it lacks the ability to reproduce. Biotic factors refer to living organisms or parts of organisms that have an impact on an ecosystem. While reproduction is generally a characteristic of living organisms, it is not an exclusive requirement for being classified as a biotic factor. Other factors such as the organism's ability to interact with its environment, obtain energy, and engage in other life processes can also contribute to its classification as a biotic factor.
