No, no it's not.
OK, I'm not a biologist but I can't think of a single living organism that doesn't die when it stops growing. (Note: 'stop' is permanent. 'pause' is temporary.)

I'll consider the argument that a body of knowledge isn't a living organism, but I doubt if you'll convince me. IMO it's a part of humanity & humanity definitely *is* a living organism. (Or, more accurately, a collection of living organisms.)
