Answer:
Soil Texture
Explanation:
Soil texture is not a factor which is responsible for the soil formation.
Parent material (minerals and nutrients), Time, Climate, Relief and Organisms are the factors which are responsible for the soil formation. Soil formation is a long process in which time, climate organisms and natural relief plays an important role.
Time: Time makes the soil more fertile as there is difference between younger soil and aged soil. Aged soil is healthier for harvesting crops.
Parent Material: Parent material refers to the minerals and nutrients which is formed and developed in the soil due to the time.
Natural Relief: Natural relief such as rains, dew, seasonal changes which adds the water and other required things to the water. On different type of land natural relief has different roles.
