Which soil do you think would produce a more fertile soil those derived from the igneous rock or those that are derived from metamorpic rocks?

Soils derived from igneous rocks tend to be more fertile than those derived from metamorphic rocks. This is because igneous rocks have a higher mineral content that can break down into nutrients essential for plant growth. Metamorphic rocks may have fewer minerals available for plant uptake, resulting in less fertile soil.
