The foundation of Incan Society was the ayllu. Each ayllu had its own farmland and homes, but the ayllu did not own the land. The government loaned land to the ayllus for living and for farming. The people of an ayllu then worked this communal land cooperatively to grow crops and produce goods.
There were ayllus in Hanan Cusco (upper) and Hurnin Cusco (lower). Each Sapa had his own Allyu. For example, Pachacuti's descendants formed the Hatun ayllu and Topa Inca Yupanqui's desendants formed the Qhapaq ayllu. Members of an ayllu were responsible for maintaining the lands, crops, and animals on the land in which their Sapa had found.

No, the emperor gave the land to each ayllu, which was allowed to live and farm on the plot of land.
In Inca society, the land was collectively owned by the ayllu members, and each family within the ayllu was allocated a portion of land for cultivation. Ownership of the land was communal, and individuals had rights to use the land but did not own it in the modern sense of private property.

The purpose of Ayllu in the Incan government was to provide border security. The Mit'a contributed to the Incan government in the form of labor.
Each ayllu in ancient Andean culture was owned collectively by its members, typically extended family groups. The land was communally managed and resources were shared among the community members. Ownership was based on kinship ties and shared responsibilities within the ayllu.
In Inca society, each ayllu did not own the land individually. Instead, the land was collectively owned by the ayllu members and allocated to families for use based on their needs and contributions to the community. This system ensured that resources were shared and distributed fairly among the community members.
