Question:

A ball of snow when rolled over snow increases in mass, volume and size. Is this comparable to growth as seen in living organisms? Why?

Answer:

Yes, it is true. In case of growth in a living being or an organism, there is accumulation of material from inside the cells of the organisms during the cell cycle. But in case of snow ball, i.e. non- living, it increases the mass, volume and size which is because of accumulation of material from outside. Thus, the growth in a snowball is different from the growth seen in living organisms.
