Do you mean; what is the material.... fossils.
A soil sample contains living and nonliving materials. Which material was once living?
it is called that because the soil was once bedrock
Decaying material in the soil is called, "Humus". (HYOO-muss)
The composition of animal and plant matter is the reason why humus is called the organic part of soil. Something organic may be living or once-living. It will be carbon-based, as in the case of dead, decaying, dying and living animals and plants in the soil food web that humus sustains.

yes. composting...

Algae
When plants and animals (any living matter) decay, their remains are in the soil, in the material called humus.
The decayed organic material in soil is called detrition. This is the broken down results of leaves and other organic substances.
No, elements were never living.
Because it has Humus which is a organic material that is from living things.

'Decomposition' for decaying plant and animal organic material. 'Detritus' for inorganic decaying material in soil. Hope this helps, John
