Does soil require energy for metabolism?

The short answer is: No, soil is never metabolized so energy is not required for its metabolism. More specifically: By definition, only living organisms metabolize anything. And, when they do, energy is always required. But the metabolism of soil never occurs as soil itself contains no nutrient and remains undigested and is excreted unchanged when a living organism ingests it. Two examples of ingesting soil come to mind among higher organisms: Earthworms do eat some wet soil so as to extract vegetable matter from it, but they metabolize only the latter and excrete the soil unchanged and therefore not metabolized. Elephants are also known to eat some soil from which their organism selects useful bacteria to keep but excretes the soil undigested and therefore not metabolized. Among lower organisms, plants do not ingest soil but extract soluble minerals and electrolytes from it through their roots and metabolize these using energy.
