No. There are a lot of different elements in soil such as dirt, rocks, water, plant matter, animal matter etc.Homogeneous refers to being all of the same.See the Related Questions to the left for more information and examples.

they are basically organisms that eat organic matter, while helping the matter decompose. an example of a detritivore would be a worm, as they eat decomposing matter and help make healthy and rich soil.
yes, it does since for example a soil ecosystem containig some rocks which are abiotic matter.
Decomposers eat dead or decaying plant and animal matter and recycle the waste into the soil. This helps plants because the waste makes the soil more fertile.
It increases the fertility of the soil.
Decaying organic matter in the soil is called humus. When it is added to the soil deliberately, it is called compost.
less organic matter
A dried soil is a solid.
