"Soil" as opposed to "dust" implies some moisture and some organic material. The Moon has no organic material and except for some craters near the poles, no water that we know of.
When we go to the Moon, we'll make our own lunar "soil" by mixing organic material with water and lunar dust.
actually moon has a soil. BUt it is different from the soil of the earth!
The Moon's soil, also known as regolith, is primarily made up of fine dust and rocky debris resulting from meteoroid impacts. Earth's soil, on the other hand, contains a mix of organic matter, minerals, water, and living organisms. The Moon's soil lacks the organic components and complex ecosystem found in Earth's soil.
No, soil samples from the moon would not contain humus because humus is a dark organic substance found in soil on Earth that is formed by the decomposition of plant and animal matter. The soil on the moon is largely composed of rock fragments, fine dust, and minerals, with no organic material present.
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.
Another name for moon soil is lunar regolith. It consists of a mixture of fine dust, soil, and rocky debris found on the surface of the Moon.

Maybe to prove he went to the moon and they can compare the soil from the moon and soil that is in earth. Same for the rocks comparing them.
The Earth has many layers of soil and rock. The moon is just a big ball of soft rock.

No, the moon is made out of soil similar to that of Earth's soil. There isn't very much documentation on the composition, but the last major hypothesis (made out of cheese) was thrown out after scientific experimentation, which supports an iron core, like Earth, as well as a similar soil and crust composition.
PARTIAL ANSWER:Over 800 pounds of moon rock have been returned to earth but I'm not sure of soil samples which would add considerably to that number.

The earth has water,fungus,microbes,canyons,oceans,wind,clouds,and soil including humus.
The moon doesn't have soil like the kind found on Earth. Most of the moon's surface is covered with what is called regolith. This is a combination of fine dust and debris from rocks that was produced when meteors hit the moon.
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.
To achieve a mission, part of which was to collect soil and rock specimens.
