Best Answer

Both. Soil is divided by horizons. the topmost horizon if full of life. but then the B and C horizon.

the C horizon is the bedrock and the B horizon is only clays and other minerals needed for plants to grow.

But if the soil is eroded away over centuries then the soil in dead.

hope this helps
