minerals and organic matter hold and store nutrients, soil water is what readily provides nutrients for plant uptake .Soil Composition. In soil
= 25%water
=25%air
=45%minerals

Heya ! My sweet dearie
Here is your answer =============================================================================
@ Soil
>> The soil forms the uppermost layer of the earth's crust. It consists of rock particles of different sizes and remains of dead plants and animals. It also holds air and water in it . Soil is very important for all living things. In fact , life on land depends on soil. It supports the growth of plants. We all are dependent on plants for our basic needs like food , medicine, clothing and shelter. Many organisms like bacteria, fungi , worms and insects live in soil.
@ Composition of soil
>> Soil is composed of three layers - topsoil, subsoil and bedrock. Topsoil is the uppermost dark layer of soil, which is rich in humus. It is the most fertile layer because of the presence of humus in it . Humus is formed by the dead and decaying parts of plants and animals. Just below the topsoil is a light- coloured layer called the subsoil which contains little humus below the subsoil , there is a layer of lumps of parent rock. The lowest layer of soil is non -porous , underneath bed rock.
Hope it helps !!! : )
