Hello,
I am planning to build an interior wall on a basement floor and for several reasons, I mainly want to use wooden studs. However, I would also like to protect the construction against potential future moisture problems. I've considered using metal studs at the bottom and then splicing them with wood. Alternatively, I could lay a row of, for example, lightweight concrete blocks and then place a horizontal wooden stud on top. EDIT: another variant might be to attach standing wooden studs to the floor with some kind of angle iron, post brackets, or similar.

Now I wonder, are there other options? I am imagining, for example, a stud made of non-organic material that can still easily support standing wooden studs, perhaps some type of plastic, composite, or the like? That is, something I can place directly on the basement floor without worry.

Syllpapp might work?
 
Steel rail at the bottom and then wooden studs standing.
 
Yes, I guess it will have to be that way. Thanks and have a nice weekend!

A Nivell rule at the bottom perhaps?
 
Always steel studs in basement areas!

Anyone considered using these composite decking boards as sill boards? [link]
I've felt them and considered building raised garden beds that would be non-toxic and durable.
I haven't gotten around to it yet so I don't know how it works. They should function as sill boards.
But there are wood fibers in them so they're not entirely inorganic.
