  • What is Soil? Understanding the Composition of Earth's Topsoil
    The substance you're describing is soil.

    Here's why:

    * Organic matter: This includes decomposed plant and animal material, which provides nutrients and improves soil structure.

    * Weathered rocks: These are broken down pieces of rock, minerals, and sand, providing the foundation and mineral content of soil.

    Soil is a complex mixture, and the proportions of organic matter and weathered rock can vary greatly depending on location and how the soil has formed.
