Question

what is soil? give answer​

Answer 1

Soil is the thin layer of material covering the earth's surface and is formed from the weathering of rocks. It is made up mainly of mineral particles, organic materials, air, water and living organisms—all of which interact slowly yet constantly.

Answer 2

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life. Earth's body of soil, called the pedosphere, has four important functions:

• As a medium for plant growth.
• As a means of water storage, supply and purification.
• As a modifier of Earth's atmosphere.
• As a habitat for organisms.
