Answer:

Humus is the decayed remains of the plants and animals, which breaks down in the soil by the microbes. The microbes need oxygen and nutrients to breakdown the remains. Therefore, this happens more in the topsoil, than in any other soil layer. Thus, the top layer of soil has more humus than other layers.
