Red soil is formed by weathering of old crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks. It is rich in iron and hence appears red in colour. In India, it is found mainly in Deccan plateau.
Soil texture is a reflection of the particle size distribution of a soil. An example is a silt loam soil that has 30% sand, 60% silt and 10% claysized particles.. As the level of organic matter increases in a soil, thewater holding capacity also increases, due to the affinity of organic matter for water.
