The only soil I have seen in the Arctic ice is that which has been brought in from other places ether by mother nature or man. other than that the Arctic is nothing more than collective group of ice constantly moving packing in new ice and calving out old ice that become bergs year round.
Arctic tundra soil is predominantly composed of permafrost, which is a permanently frozen layer of soil beneath the surface. This soil is nutrient-poor and has a high organic content due to the slow decomposition of plant material in the cold environment.
Im not shure if there is any soil in the artic
Permafrost is the name for the frozen ground underneath the Arctic soil that remains at or below freezing temperatures for two or more consecutive years. Its presence can significantly impact ecosystems and infrastructure in the Arctic region.
The color of soil in the Arctic can vary depending on factors such as the composition of minerals, organic matter content, and moisture levels. It may range from dark brown or black in areas with high organic content to lighter colors like gray or white in regions with low organic matter content and high mineral composition.

The roots of plants in arctic soil are shallow, but I am not sure why. Sorry!

Frozen soil.
Yes it does, though it is of poor quality.
The best I can tell it's called permafrost

Frozen soil.
some abiotic factors of the arctic are permafrost, strong winds, poor soil, long winters and short summers.
