Sure, soil has energy. Since it is warmer than absolute zero (absolute zero is equal to -273o Celsius) it has heat energy. Since it has mass, it has an energy equivalent according to Einstein's famous equation, e = mc2. It contains some chemical substances which have various forms of chemical energy.
Free energy of soil refers to the energy available to do work in the soil system. It is influenced by factors such as soil moisture content, temperature, and organic matter content. Understanding the free energy of soil can help in predicting nutrient availability, microbial activity, and overall soil health.
Water and soil are considered potentially renewable energy resources because they are naturally replenished through the water cycle and soil formation processes. They can be used to generate renewable energy, such as hydropower from flowing water and bioenergy from organic matter in soil. With proper management and conservation efforts, water and soil can continue to provide energy for future generations.
Soil itself does not contain energy, but it plays a crucial role in the cycling and storage of energy within ecosystems. Soil microorganisms break down organic matter, releasing energy that is utilized by plants and other organisms. This process is essential for nutrient cycling and the overall functioning of ecosystems.
No, plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, plus water, into simple sugars. Plants usually rely on soil primarily for support and water (in quantitative terms), but also obtain compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus, and other crucial elemental nutrients.
The short answer is: No, soil is never metabolized so energy is not required for its metabolism. More specifically: By definition, only living organisms metabolize anything. And, when they do, energy is always required. But the metabolism of soil never occurs as soil itself contains no nutrient and remains undigested and is excreted unchanged when a living organism ingests it. Two examples of ingesting soil come to mind among higher organisms: Earthworms do eat some wet soil so as to extract vegetable matter from it, but they metabolize only the latter and excrete the soil unchanged and therefore not metabolized. Elephants are also known to eat some soil from which their organism selects useful bacteria to keep but excretes the soil undigested and therefore not metabolized. Among lower organisms, plants do not ingest soil but extract soluble minerals and electrolytes from it through their roots and metabolize these using energy.

yes
animals and their cells get their energy from the sun, not the soil and water.
For our plants,and for their soil. For our plants,and for their soil. For our plants,and for their soil.
Soil is not an energy resource. New soil is made all the time through the decomposition of vegetation. It is a renewable resource.

From soil and other particles!

The cup of water will receive more heat energy compared to the cup of soil because water has a higher specific heat capacity than soil. This means water can absorb more heat for a given temperature change compared to soil.
