Question: What is soil made of?

Answer: Soil is a mixture of rock particles, minerals, decayed organic material, water, and air. Soil also contains a dark-colored substance called humus. (pronunciation: HYOO mus, not hummus, as in the dip) Humus is formed as plant and animal remains decay. Humus helps create air spaces in soil for the air and water plants must have, and it also provides the soil with the nutrients it must have.
