Food that is stored inside of a seed is said to be stored in dormant form. This means that the seed will not grow until it is in a place with plenty of good soil, food, and water.
Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere or in soil gases dissolves in water: CO2 + H2O => H2CO3 carbon dioxide + water => carbonic acid
When organic matter decomposes, a significant portion of the carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2) through the process of respiration by decomposer organisms. Some of this carbon can also be converted into other forms such as methane (CH4) during anaerobic decomposition. However, a small proportion of carbon can be retained in the decomposing material as organic matter in the form of humus or stored in the soil.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common form of carbon that dissolves in rainwater. When CO2 from the atmosphere combines with rainwater, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is responsible for the mildly acidic nature of rain. This dissolved carbon in rainwater can then be utilized by plants for photosynthesis or can react with minerals in soil and water bodies.
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air releasing the oxygen and retaining the carbon as sugar and cellulose. The cellulose is used to form wood and leaves. The sugar fuels the trees cellular growth and seed formation. The carbon is stored as wood (in the tree itaelf) and in the fallen leaves as humus or carbon in the soil.

In soil, water seeps through the A horizon and reacts with humus and carbon dioxide to form acid .

Plants obtain the carbon that they need in the form of carbon dioxide from the air, not from the soil. Even if carbon were added to fertiliser plants would be unable to make use of it.

Carbon goes back into the soil when dead animals decompose.
the riches of the soil is the carbon.
Plants and animals are composed largely of carbon so when they die and decompose much of that carbon is put into the soil.
how do soil form and what are the soil profile?
