How to use "Soil" in context?
The soil is a vital component of every ecosystem. It is the mixture of minerals, water, and air that supports plants and animals. Soil is important because it is the foundation on which everything else in a ecosystem depends. In fact, the health of the soil is even more important than the health of the plants and animals that live in it.
The soil is constantly being transformed by the plants and animals that live in it. Plant roots breakdown rock and soil and pull up nutrients and water. Animals dig, feed, and move soil around. In turn, the soil provides food and shelter for the plants and animals.
