because soft soil has more moisture
A deep soil has to have a depth of 6 to 8 inches. Soils is what is on the ground.
The average soil depth worldwide is estimated to be around 1.5 meters (5 feet). However, the depth of soil can vary significantly depending on location, with some areas having much deeper soil while others have shallow or no soil at all.

Bulk density generally increases with soil depth due to increasing pressure from the soil column above. Porosity is inversely related to bulk density, thus porosity should decrease as soil depth increases.

Footprints, when an animal walks across mud or soft soil, tracks are left.
Soil pressure increases with depth due to the overburden or self-weight of the soil and also due to loads imposed upon the soil. For example, the pressure variation below the depth of soil is linear and the relation is given by pressure = unit wt * depth. As depth increases, there will be a linear increase in the soil pressure.
Wombats burrow in pliable soil, that is, soil that is softer.
Soft soil is soil with low shear strength, making it easy to deform under load. It typically has high water content and small grain size, lacking the rigidity and stability of firmer soil types. Soft soil is prone to settling, consolidation, and erosion, which can pose challenges for construction and infrastructure projects.
1.The degree to which water clings to the soil is the most important soil water characteristic to a growing plant. This concept is often expressed as soil moisture tension. Soil moisture tension is negative pressure and commonly expressed in units of bars. During this discussion, when soil moisture tension becomes more negative it will be referred to as "increasing" in value. Thus, as soil moisture tension increases (the soil water pressure becomes more negative), the amount of energy exerted by a plant to remove the water from the soil must also increase. One bar of soil moisture tension is nearly equivalent to -1 atmosphere of pressure (1 atmosphere of pressure is equal to 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level). 2. A soil that is saturated has a soil moisture tension of about 0.001 bars, or less, which requires little energy for a plant to pull water away from the soil. At field capacity most soils have a soil moisture tension between 0.05 and 0.33 bars. Soils classified as sandy may have field capacity tensions around 0.10 bars, while clayey soil will have field capacity at a tension around 0.33 bars. At field capacity it is relatively easy for a plant to remove water from the soil. 3.The wilting point is reached when the maximum energy exerted by a plant is equal to the tension with which the soil holds the water. For most agronomic crops this is about 15 bars of soil moisture tension. To put this in perspective, the wilting point of some desert plants has been measured between 50 and 60 bars of soil moisture tension. 4.The presence of high amounts of soluble salts in the soil reduces the amount of water available to plants. As salts increase in soil water, the energy expended by a plant to extract water must also increase, even though the soil moisture tension remains the same. In essence, salts decrease the total available water in the soil profile.
