Humus
Decayed plant and animal matter.
No, it is not true. Naturally occurring soil is a mixture of non-organic particles (like clay, silt, sand and gravel), organic matter in all stages of decay, and living organisms (like bacteria, fungi and insect larvae). You can make soil that is entirely made from organic matter, but it will not consist only of decayed plant material. Even if you start with a pile of dead leaves, by the time it has become soil, it is no longer purely plant material. Decay (apart from mechanical erosion) is only possible through the action of decomposers living off the leaves, dying and eventually becoming part of the soil. The decomposers are fungi or animals, not plants. The organic matter in soil does not have to come from plants - dead pets work just fine! Then you get soil composed of decayed animal material, plus living and dead microorganisms, fungi and animals, without any plant material.

Soil composition is soil mixed of rock particles, minerals, decayed organic material, water, and air.

'Decomposition' for decaying plant and animal organic material. 'Detritus' for inorganic decaying material in soil. Hope this helps, John

Humus is decayed organic matter in the topsoil of mature soils. Humus helps the soil to hold water better, by providing nutrients, and by keeping the soil from getting packed down.We do not exactly know if it is living or not.HUMUS:Mixture of rotting plant and animal material found in soil.Simply the decayed vegetable matter in the soil.
Humus (Latin - "soil ") is the organic material in soil lending it a dark brown or black coloration... (\'/) (>.<)
