What is soile?

Soil is a natural resource that forms on the earth's surface as a result of the interaction between the climate, parent rock, organisms, and time. It is a complex mixture of weathered rock, minerals, organic matter, water, and air that provides the necessary support, nutrients, and moisture to sustain plant growth and biodiversity. Soils are classified into various types based on their texture, structure, fertility, and other physical and chemical properties. Some of the major soil types include sandy, clayey, loamy, peaty, and saline soils. Soil erosion, degradation, and pollution are some of the major threats to soil health and productivity, which can impact food security and the environment. Therefore, proper soil management and conservation practices are essential to preserve this precious resource for future generations.
