Sure, why not.

Nature is a process.

I want to fuck mother nature

Yeah, and they both go "wub wub wub wub"

I mean it does fit every characteristic of life

>regulation of the internal environment to maintain a constant state; for example, sweating to reduce temperature
check
>being structurally composed of one or more cells — the basic units of life
check (organisms=cells on this scale)
>transformation of energy by converting chemicals and energy into cellular components (anabolism) and decomposing organic matter (catabolism). Living things require energy to maintain internal organization (homeostasis) and to produce the other phenomena associated with life.
check
>maintenance of a higher rate of anabolism than catabolism. A growing organism increases in size in all of its parts, rather than simply accumulating matter.
check, its cells (organisms) are always growing
>the ability to change over time in response to the environment. This ability is fundamental to the process of evolution and is determined by the organism's heredity, diet, and external factors.
check, has stabilized over time in response to natural disasters and asteroid strikes
>a response can take many forms, from the contraction of a unicellular organism to external chemicals, to complex reactions involving all the senses of multicellular organisms. A response is often expressed by motion; for example, the leaves of a plant turning toward the sun (phototropism), and chemotaxis.
check, has changed dramatically in response to external and internal factors greatly in order to achieve equilibrium
>the ability to produce new individual organisms, either asexually from a single parent organism, or sexually from two parent organisms.
check, does this literally billions/trillions of times a day

So to answer your question: Definitely

I think the last one means other organisms on its own scale, not 'cell growth' as you will.
