Soil is made up of air, water, minerals and organic material and is one of the most important natural resources on earth. Most life on earth depends onsoil as a direct or indirect source of food. Plants and animals source their nutrients from the soil and it is home to many different forms of life.
Natural resources refer to the things that exist freely in nature for human use and don’t necessarily need the action of mankind for their generation or production.

The key aspect of natural resources is that they dictate the survival of humans and other life forms on earth.

These resources include land, rocks, forests (vegetation), water (ocean, lakes, streams, seas, and rivers), fossil fuel, animals (fish, wild life, and domesticated animals), minerals, sunlight and air.

Soil is responsible for determining which plants can grow in an area.

Answer:

Roots can cling to soils, which also store water and minerals. In addition to earthworms and termites, soils are home to a vast array of microscopic organisms that repair nitrogen and break down organic materials.

Along with using it and in it, we also construct atop soil. In the ecosystem of the Earth, soil is essential. In addition to giving plants and trees nourishment, water, and minerals, soil also holds carbon and therefore is home to countless numbers of insects, rodents, bacteria, and other microorganisms.

Soil is a naturally occurring resource that supports life and is created by combining organic matter and worn rock minerals. It is a significant natural resource. The most crucial component for life on earth is soil.

Explanation:

In addition to supporting plant development and offering refuge to many species, soil is crucial for agriculture, which produces our food. As a result, soil is a valuable human resource. The world's carbon is largely stored in soil, which also plays a critical role in the cycling of nutrients, regulation of water drainage, and removal of pollutants. Soil is also essential for the agricultural, forestry, and building industries. Because of these crucial ecosystem services, soil research is more crucial than ever.
