what is soil?
Soil is a natural body composed of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and living organisms that interact with each other and with the environment.
Soil supports the growth of plants and other soil organisms, and performs many vital functions such as water storage, nutrient cycling, waste filtration, and carbon sequestration. Soil is formed by the weathering of rocks and the decomposition of organic matter, and is influenced by factors such as climate, topography, parent material, and biological activity.
