 All life forms in space can be classified into two large groups: organic and inorganic. Organic life form tissue is structured with organic matter. Organic matter itself means that its structures are composed of hydrocarbons, and hydrocarbon ecology can be regarded as the continued lifecycle of hydrocarbons. When an organic life form dies, another life form decomposes its physical body, and broken down, these elements are reabsorbed into the bodies of other living organisms to complete one full circle of the cycle. Each individual life form not only possesses part of their own planet, but a bit of the history of the entire universe.
