Anything physical has inherent value (or intrinsic value).
To an alien, we may be a good source of protein, or to be used in their MrFusion™
Any other values "we" assign to ourselves are strictly social contructs and therefore arbitrary.
eg: Bitcoin has no inherent value -only the value we artifically apply to it. Gold has inherent value as it is a physical element with certain desirable properties which can be utilised for industial uses or even aesthetic. Gold as a monetary store of value has no inherent value other than what we choose to give it. It's just a pet rock.
