How does growth in living and non-living things differ?

(N/A) $\rightarrow$ Non-living objects also grow if we take an increase in body mass as a criterion for growth.
$\rightarrow$ Mountains,boulders,and sand mounds do grow by the accumulation of material on their surface.
$\rightarrow$ In living organisms,growth occurs from the inside.
$\rightarrow$ Therefore,growth cannot be taken as a defining property of living organisms because it is not exclusive to them.
$\rightarrow$ $A$ dead organism does not grow,which distinguishes it from non-living objects that may accumulate mass over time.
