How are living organisms dependent on the soil?Are organixvggsms that live in water totally independent of soil as a resource?Please answer in points and in good language.Please.
Answers
organisms are dependent upon soil as:-
- soil facilitates growth of plants which the herbivores eat.
- then the carnivores feed on herbivores.
- and, hence food chain exist in environment in different form.
organisms that live in water are also dependent on soil as:-
- soil facilitates the growth of aquatic plants.
- the planktons present in water feed on these plants.
- then the big aquatic animals feed on plantons and small fishes.
and hence, soil is very necessary for environment.

Almost all living organisms are dependent on soil.
Some depend directly, while some depend indirectly.
Plants need soil for getting support as well as nutrients to prepare their food.
On the other hand, organisms depend on plants for food and other substances that are essential for life.
Herbivores depend directly upon plants, and carnivores depend upon animals, which in turn depend upon plants for food.
This makes them depend on soil indirectly.
Organisms that live in water are not totally independent of soil as a resource.
These organisms depend on aquatic plants for food and other substances.
These aquatic plants in turn require minerals for their sustenance.
These minerals are carried to water bodies from soil by rivers, rain water, etc.
Without the supply of minerals from the soil to the water bodies, it is impossible to imagine aquatic life.
