Answer 1

☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆

• 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.

These aquatic plants in turn require minerals for their sustenance. These minerals are carried to water bodies from soil by rivers, rain water, etc.

Organisms are dependent upon soil. Plants/Producers takes up minerals and water from the soil . When herbivores eat them they indirectly take in the products of soil.Similar cycle continues with successive consumers.

No. Organisms living in water are not independent of soil as resource as they also consume food that is made from soil directly or indirectly.
