What is meant by soil?

soil is a dark brown (or black) solid material, which is a mixture of 'rock particles of different sizes' and decayed plant & animal matter called 'humus'.

How is soil formed?

soil is formed from rocks by the process of weathering. In weathering, rocks are broken down very slowly by the action sun's heat, wind, rain, flowing water, etc., to form tiny rock particles. These tiny rock particles then mix up with humus to form fertile soil. The nature of any soil depends on the rocks from which it has been formed and the type of vegetation that grows in it.
