Soil is a loose mixture of rock fragments, organic matter, water, and air that can support the growth of vegetation. The first step in soil formation is the weathering of parent rock into smaller pieces. Eventually, very small particles from parent rock are mixed in with organic matter to form soil.

Answer:
Soil is formed through the process of weathering. Weathering is a process of physical breakdown and chemical decomposition of rocks and minerals near or at the surface of the earth. This physical and chemical decomposition is primarily done by wind, water, and climate. As a result of these processes, large rock pieces are converted into smaller pieces and eventually to soil.
