cleaning
Plant roots bind the soil and regolith together.
From the mouth the soil moves to the crop, where it is stored . Behind the crop is a muscular structure called the gizzard. Here, the soil and food are ground. In the intestine, the food is broken down and absored by the blood . Undigested soil and wastes leave the worm through the anus.
Earthworms do indeed have mouths. As they burrow through the soil, earthworms ingest the soil through their mouth- soil itself isn't very nutritious, but within the soil particles there are various microorganisms, bacteria and detritus that the earthworms are able to digest. Within the earthworm are two digestive structures that are used to process food: the crop (which is a food storage recepticle) and the gizzard (which is tough and muscular, and is used to grind up the soil particles). Food then passes through a short intestine (where absorption of the nutrients occurs), and out the anus.
Earthworm populations depend on both physical and chemical properties of the soil, such as soil temperature, moisture, pH, salts, aeration and texture, as well as available food, and the ability of the species to reproduce and disperse. One of the most important environmental factors is ph, but earthworms vary in their preferences. Most earthworms favour neutral to slightly acidic soil. Another important factor in the amount of moisture in the soil as the earthworm requires this to breath.
The things that absorb light are leaf litter and similar organic stuff. that means that there is more chance that light can be absorbed by organic dominated soil rather than rock or sand. If you remember that soil itself is a combination of rock and organic matter it is easier to remember the answer to your question.
alters the landscape
Clear-cutting is a method of biomass removal that has the most adverse impact on the physical properties of soil since it involves the complete removal of trees and vegetation, leading to soil erosion, compaction, and decreased organic matter content. This can cause disruption to the soil structure, decrease water infiltration rates, and ultimately lead to soil degradation and loss of soil fertility.
Removal of nutrients from soil is called leaching
sometimes herbivores are responsible for the removal of soil .how?
depletion
In much the same way as sound is used in music, food is used in cooking, and soil is used in agriculture.
Soil macrofauna are all organism in the soil visible to the naked eye.

process of removal of top layers of soil when heavy rain hits bare soil
The wearing away and removal of soil is called erosion. It is a natural process where soil is loosened and transported by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Erosion can be accelerated by human activities such as deforestation and improper land use.
