Explanation:
Jainism teaches the concept of Jiva, which refers to the eternal soul or consciousness present in all living beings. According to Jain philosophy, souls exist not only in animals and plants but also in other natural objects such as rocks, running water, and various elements of nature. This belief highlights the Jain principle of non-violence and the reverence for all forms of life, extending beyond just sentient beings.
