Power and Toughness are also usually not abilities, though there are exceptions.

Abilities can set or modify power and toughness, but power and toughness themselves are not abilities.

Note that Dryad Arbor originally had the ability "Dryad Arbor is Green", but it no longer has that ability. The ability was replaced with a color indicator.
