Decaying matter found in soil is organic material that undergoes decomposition. This process is primarily carried out by various microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, breaking down the organic matter into simpler compounds. These decomposed materials enrich the soil with nutrients essential for plant growth.
Decaying material in the soil is called, "Humus". (HYOO-muss)
The dark decaying matter in soil is called humus. Humus is a rich organic material that forms as plant and animal remains decompose, contributing to soil fertility and structure.
No, bedrock is not the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter.Specifically, bedrock comprises one of six soil horizons or layers. Organic animal and plant matter decompose in the topmost layer and supply the layer immediately below with the humus content of A horizon's humus-mineral mix. Bedrock is found in sixth, bottommost layer which includes unweathered rock.
Organic matter, such as decaying plant and animal material, as well as living microorganisms, would not be found in the Moon's soil. Additionally, minerals and nutrients derived from Earth-specific geological processes, like weathering of local rocks, would also be absent in the Moon's soil.
Peat soil is a type of soil made up of partially decomposed organic matter, primarily from mosses and other wetland plants. It is commonly found in wet and boggy areas where there is excess water preventing the complete decomposition of organic matter. Peat soil is important for carbon sequestration and as a habitat for unique plant and animal species.

Decaying organic matter in the soil is called humus. When it is added to the soil deliberately, it is called compost.

Small thin black worms are known as nematodes and can commonly be found in soil, water, and decaying organic matter.

Threadlike fungi, also known as filamentous fungi, can be found in soil, decaying organic matter, and as pathogens on plants. Sac fungi, or Ascomycetes, are commonly found in various habitats, including soil, on decaying wood, and in association with plants. Club fungi, or Basidiomycetes, are typically seen in forests as mushrooms, on decaying wood, or in soil. Imperfect fungi, or Deuteromycetes, are often found in soil and decaying material, and they include many pathogens and molds, such as those used in food production.
Nutrients in the soil come from decaying plant and animal matter, not adaptation.
