Explanation:

An ecosystem consists of living (biotic) and non - living (abiotic) components. While water, wind are abiotic, plants and animals are biotic. Biotic components are essential to make it a complete ecosystem as they are part of the food - web and energy flow. Rocks are already present and adding a new type doesn't make it an ecosystem.
