Actually soil is a living and non-living thing because soil cannot grow or reproduce which is what you need to do to be classified as a living thing, so then it is part non-living and no want makes it living is that it absorbs sunlight and water and provides nutrients for other organisms.

∙ 11y agoYES Soil is a living entity because some of the basic requirements of living thing is that they respire ( exchange of gases), they require nutrients (food), they need water. All of these are the property of soil soil can also exchange their gases by means of macro-pores present in soil they require nutrients to support the growth of plants and other microorganisms and last but not the least they need water to remain fertile so as to support the growth of plants and living organisms.
As living organism need LOVE AND AFFECTION for their living soil also require LOVE AND AFFECTION if it is not treated with care it can become non fertile.

What is the study of living and nonliving things such as rocks, and soil?

non-living parts of ecosystem-air/water/soil/sun?
Sunlight is nonliving as its rays contain no known carbon; however, its photons can be gathered and stored by any plant or algae that is photosynthetic and so it is essential for any "living" ecosystem.
What is the process by which materials pass between the nonliving environment and living organisms?
The process by which materials pass between the nonliving environment and living organisms is called biogeochemical cycling. It involves the circulation of nutrients, such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, through various components of the ecosystem, including the atmosphere, soil, water, and organisms. This cycling is essential for the functioning and sustainability of ecosystems.
