• nature
• plants
• rocks
• roots - In botany, the parts of a plant normally underground, having the primary functions of anchorage of the plant, absorption of water and dissolved minerals and conduction of these to the stem, and storage of reserve foods.
• stone - General term for rock that has been cut, shaped, crushed, or otherwise formed for use in construction or other purposes. Includes the specific archaeological and anthropological sense of individual stones which may be decorated or ornamented and which may be used in ritual contexts. These are usually not carved or dressed, and so differ from sculptures made from stone.
