Your question requires a book to be answered fully. In short - Physically, soil must be able to support the plant and be capable of holding plant nutrients and water. Chemically, for the very great majority of plants, it must provide all of the nutrients required for plant growth.

∙ 13y agoSoil properties are important to measure if you intend to do something with or on a parcel of land.
A farmer might be interested in knowing if a piece of land can grow crops, and therefore would want to know the soil's fertility and pH, and other properties, depending on the crop.
A developer might be interested in knowing if the soil could support the weight of a building or road, without failing and causing a landslide or other disaster.
A home builder might be interested in whether a septic system would work on a piece of property.
For almost any land use, knowing the properties of that land is valuable.
