HEY MATE !

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :-

HUMUS IS THE TOP LAYER OF SOIL.

Humus is important because it retains moisture in the soil, loosens the soil permitting better aeration and drainage, and encourages the increase of soil organisms which help make nutrients available to plants. It adds body to light soil and loosens heavy, sticky soils.
