Decomposing plant material.
Plants...
Plants are the main source of organic matter in soil. When plants die or shed leaves, roots, and other parts, they contribute organic material to the soil, which decomposes and becomes part of the soil organic matter.
The main source of soil organic matter is decaying plant and animal material. Organic matter plays a crucial role in the soil by improving its structure, water-holding capacity, nutrient availability, and overall fertility. It also enhances microbial activity, which is essential for nutrient cycling and overall soil health.

The main source of organic matter in soil is decomposed material from dead plants, animals and the solid waste resulting from animal digestion. Insects and bacteria act on them breaking them down into smaller and smaller pieces that mix with the rest of the soil.

The organic material in soil is humus.
Soil is not fabricated...nor is any organic material.
The organic level which is the uppermost level of the soil.
Organic material can be broken down by microorganisms to create compost, which is a nutrient-rich soil amendment used in gardening. Another product of organic material decomposition is biogas, which can be used as a renewable energy source for heating and electricity generation.

The decayed organic material in soil is called detrition. This is the broken down results of leaves and other organic substances.
