Q1: What is a soil?

[Answer]

Now you know about rocks and soils, you can imagine how a rock changes into a soil.

But a soil is not just little bits of rock. This would not be useful to plants and they would not grow well in it.

A soil is broken down rock, but it also has plant and animal remains in it. These rotting materials are where the new plants get their nourishment from.
