Actually soil is a living and non-living thing because soil cannot grow or reproduce which is what you need to do to be classified as a living thing, so then it is part non-living and no want makes it living is that it absorbs sunlight and water and provides nutrients for other organisms.
Physical Science :)
Sunlight is nonliving as its rays contain no known carbon; however, its photons can be gathered and stored by any plant or algae that is photosynthetic and so it is essential for any "living" ecosystem.
The process by which materials pass between the nonliving environment and living organisms is called biogeochemical cycling. It involves the circulation of nutrients, such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, through various components of the ecosystem, including the atmosphere, soil, water, and organisms. This cycling is essential for the functioning and sustainability of ecosystems.
nonliving- rocks, water, soil... ect. Living- humans, animals, insects, plants... ect. For a specific ecosystem such as aquatic- Nonliving- sand, soil, rocks, water Living- coral, fish, plankton... ect.
Interactions between living and nonliving parts of the Earth occur in ecosystems. Living organisms rely on nonliving elements like air, water, and soil for survival, while nonliving elements are influenced by the activities of living organisms through processes like decomposition and nutrient cycling. These interactions are essential for the functioning and balance of an ecosystem.
A soil sample contains living and nonliving materials. Which material was once living?
nonliving...
Some nonliving things in a rainforest are clouds, rocks, and soil. Soil is not neccesarily nonliving. The nutrients inside of it are living, but soil is not.

Soil is very alive. It has a lot of living things in it.
living: plants, animals etc. non-living: soil
because all over the earth are loving animals and insects so everything you pick up are living animals and insects trails

Sand, very small stones and rocks are often found in soil and they are not alive.

Rock would be one answer, as would be coal, both non-living, and solid.
