Small pieces of material that come from rocks are known as minerals, while small pieces of material that come from living things are called organic matter or particles. Minerals are inorganic compounds, while organic matter includes fragments of plants, animals, or other organisms.
Soils is made up of small pieces of minerals, rocks and organic material.
organic materials - if it means minerals then process is called mining.
Minerals are solid, inorganic, naturally occurring, have a fixed chemical composition, and not finally, a perfect internal atomic structure. Fossils come from organic materials. Therefore, fossils are not considered minerals, although yes, by the time the organic material has fossilized, consists of minerals.
No clay is not an organic material, it is made from minerals.
There are no minerals in sunlight. Plants obtain all their minerals from decomposed organic material in the soil.
No, not all rocks contain organic material. Rocks are formed from minerals and can have a variety of compositions, but organic material is not a requirement for rock formation. Organic material is typically found in sedimentary rocks, where fossils and organic compounds can be preserved.

Wood is organic. Minerals are inorganic.
Yes, soils in deserts tend to be rich in minerals due to the lack of leaching from rainwater and the slow breakdown of rocks. However, they are generally poor in organic material because the arid conditions limit the decomposition of organic matter and the growth of vegetation that can contribute organic material to the soil.
The process you’re describing is known as mineralization, where organic material is dissolved by mineral-laden water, leading to the replacement of organic cells with minerals. This process often occurs in the formation of fossils, where minerals infiltrate and replace the organic components over time. The resulting mineralized structure retains the original shape but is composed of minerals instead of organic material.
