Depends on what you mean by "lifeform". It is more complex

than

an acorn. Entropy and all that.

No, its DNA is.

That is it's biological complexity, the core of
every aspect of its life. It's every leaf. It's bark.
It's resistance or lack of resistance to disease.
It's color. The hardness of its wood.

All of its fleshing out is controlled by its
DNA, and all that it is is all that it was as
an acorn.

Stop being stupid.
