What is the importance of the soil?

Answer 1

soil is very important because without it we would not have plants, and it also helps animals survive because many animals eat soil components.

Soil contains thousands of insects, bacteria and worms etc. It has minerals and humus in it which feeds some of the bacteria, insects and worms etc. and plants. It is made from eroded rock and decomposed bark, plants, animals, and poo eg. manure, peat. It's important because plants need it to survive, they need somewhere for their roots to anchor in the soil, to grow and get their water from (the ground). we need plants because animals graze on plants, eg. grass, which we eat, eg. cows, and we eat plants ourselves. So you see soil is very important.
