Soil gives the plant's roots a firm, stable "Medium" to grow in.
Soil also contains nutrients which the plant's roots suck up into the plant to provide food for the plant.
Soil is mostly made of decaying organic matter (dead leaves, grass, sticks, and other natural things).
This decaying organic matter decomposes into nitrogen, phosphorous, potash, and many other components.
By the way, those 3 elements are the concentration rating in plant food.
24 -5 - 12 means that the plant food is 24% N, 5% Phosphorous, and 12% Potash. These elements are necessary for plant growth. The soil also holds water which that plant needs to grow. The roots are actually salty and attract the water through osmosis. Kevlarster
