Another term for necrotic is

Inflamed
Healing
Dead and nonvital
Infected

The correct answer is: Dead and nonvital

Necrotic refers to tissue death, specifically when large amounts of cells die in a certain area. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the state of necrosis. Inflamed refers to a tissue that is swollen or irritated, while healing indicates a tissue in the process of repairing itself. Infected means that there is a presence of harmful bacteria or germs, while necrosis can occur without infection. Dead and nonvital accurately describe the condition of necrosis, as it refers to tissue that is no longer living and unable to perform its normal functions.
